Whittard of Chelsea (Oxford) oxford

Fine selection of interesting teas in bags or loose. They also have coffee that can be ground for you. Lovely friendly staff, very much enthusiasts: a delight to talk to with absolutely no pressure to buy anything. Very nice paraphernalia: cups, teapots, milk jugs, biscuits, cafetieres, pour-over, AeroPress (I was buying tea but have one of these for coffee and can't recommend it enough). I am trying the fill-me-up drawstring tea bags (partly reusable) into which you add/mix your choice of loose tea (my first foray since my current favourite, smokey Lapsang, only there as that), drinking now and I think has worked well. I will be going there again.

Huge Selection of Teas. This branch had some loose teas available to buy that other branches in London didn't have. The store was very busy but the staff were still very helpful and patient. They had samples of most their products so you can smell before buying and they had a small selection of teas ready to drink for free as a taster. They also had hot chocolate to try! I bought the Marrakech Mint Green Loose Tea and White Chocolate White Loose Tea, with a very nice Loose Tea Infuser!

All-time favourite store -- the staff at the Oxford branch is always helpful and friendly (seriously, every single employee in there is my favourite), the selection is excellent, and I can definitely recommend the new loyalty programme.

Very helpful staff although the loose tea purchased was not up to there normal standard so was returned.

An excellent store with great product and very helpful and knowledgeable staffs. Good display of product.

This place has many great products and the staffs are very friendly and helpful. Especially enjoy the dreamtime instant tea and English rose tea.

This place does such lovely tea and their staff are so friendly and helpful - I prefer it to T2 Particularly enjoy the elderflower earl grey and English rose loose leaf tea

The hotel chocolate is amazing, the best in the business. I've had a lot of different ones but this is the best despite the higher prices. I would recommend this to anyone and the shops always lovely with fantasticly wonderful staff. The free taster are great as well so you know you'll like it before spending all that money on some hot chocolate. All the packages are the nicest and look lovely as normal objects!!
