Whittard of Chelsea

Whittard of Chelsea

In 1826, Walter Whittard (then aged 25) opened the first store in what would later become Whittard of Chelsea, with a simple and single aim: "to buy only the best". Since then, the famous English brand, later taken over by Walter's sons, has faced wars and disasters of all kinds to become what it is today: one of the most emblematic brands in the world of tea. Between chocolate powders, each more delicious than the last, and teas with poetic names and incredible flavours, the brand, now based in Chelsea, is a must for tea lovers.

Barry's Tea

Barry's tea

The famous Irish tea brand was founded in 1901 in a small shop in Cork. When Barry's Tea began importing tea from East Africa in the 1960s, it was a resounding success and these innovative blends, valued for their freshness, flavour and unique golden colour, became the brand's signature. Since then, the range has expanded to include infusions, herbal teas and green teas. The brand has always been very close to tea-producing communities and supports social projects in this direction every year. Today, Barry’s Tea teas are sold all over the world and are among the most popular teas among the Irish… and fans of Comptoir Irlandais.
