Whittard of Chelsea Blooms with a Brand New Collection of English Garden Inspired Drinks

Quintessentially British tea and coffee makers, Whittard of Chelsea, has launched its brand new collection for Summer 2026. The thoughtfully curated range of drinks and treats captures the very essence of a British summer, from sunny afternoons to warm garden evenings.

The collection spans delicate floral infusions and refreshing rhubarb delights inspired by the classic British dessert.

Heather Milburn, Head of Product & Buying, noted, “Rhubarb and lavender are two flavours we’ve been watching closely for some time, and it’s been exciting to see them appear more and more across food and drink, as their popularity grows. We’re delighted to bring this range to you, blending a hint of nostalgia with a fresh, modern twist that feels just right for summer.”

The launch also coincides with a landmark moment, where to celebrate its 140th anniversary, Whittard of Chelsea will unveil a specially commissioned garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026.

The garden will celebrate the brand’s heritage of curiosity, craft and transformation, all qualities that have quietly defined Whittard of Chelsea for over a century and visitors to the show being among the first to discover the brand new summer collection in person.
