ABOUT US

Our story began in 1886 when Walter Whittard began selling the finest tea, coffee and hot chocolate in London with the approach to buy the best. Over 135 years later, our never-ending curiosity to find unique blends and distinctive tastes lives on at Whittard. We continue to flourish, and our ambition will always remain the same - to ensure every customer can enjoy their own Whittard moment and make each day more special.
