From exotic loose-leaf teas sourced from across the globe to indulgent hot chocolates and hand-selected coffee blends, Whittard has spent well over a century helping people find their perfect cup. This catalogue and eNewsletter brought subscribers exclusive offers, new blend discoveries, and carefully chosen tableware and brewing equipment.

Tea, Coffee and Hot Chocolate to Suit Every Taste

Whittard's range covers every type of hot beverage drinker. Tea lovers can choose from bags, pouches, loose-leaf and iced varieties sourced from regions around the world. Coffee drinkers are catered for with ground, whole-bean, instant, decaf and exclusive house blends. For those who prefer something richer, the hot chocolate selection offers indulgent recipes crafted for avid chocaholics. Whatever the occasion, the range is designed to turn an ordinary moment into something worth savouring.

Beyond the beverages themselves, Whittard offered a thoughtfully curated selection of tableware and equipment. Perfect tea sets, mugs, bowls and plates complemented the drinks range, while a full suite of brewing tools ensured every cup could be prepared just right. Whether gifting or treating yourself, the accessories collection was as considered as the blends it was built to serve.
