It's National Tea Day and what better way to celebrate than to announce our new Decaffeinated Earl Grey!

Blended by hand using premium CO2 processed tea leaves infused with pure bergamot oil (naturally, no flavourings or chemicals here), this is the perfect little treat for yourself.

Available in-shop and online from Friday, 24 April. Just 3 more days before you can enjoy a blend that is 138 years in the making.

Pump up the jam. Pour up the tea.
Cheers to one year of Gillards of Bath at the .

There is something truly magical about seeing the tea we blend by hand being served in the most beautiful room in Bath. We celebrated our first anniversary of this partnership the best way we know how—by sitting down for Afternoon Tea.

Seeing Gillards of Bath on the menu still gives us a thrill. A huge thank you to the Pump Room for trusting us with your tea service, and to our wonderful customers for your continued support. It’s been a remarkable year!

Secrets. Scandal. Steeped.
The wait is finally over. Tomorrow, the carriages return and the rumors begin to fly.

If you are planning to spend the morning dissecting every revelation, you will need a tea that can keep up. Our Lady Whistledown English Rose—taking in the waters like a true Regency Lady—is the definitive choice.

A thousand years (or at least a few months) is a long time to wait. Don’t find yourself without a significant brew when the first whistle blows. 🥀🎻

Hello, love. Looking for a little February flirtation?
Our Regency Romance range is ready for you.

​Whether you are leaning toward the rich, dark notes of the Chocolate Coffee or the bright, floral lift of our Peach Tea, these blends are hand-selected for those who appreciate a bit of historic charm.

It’s all the romance of the 19th century, with none of the corsets.

​In the shop today.

Detox. Breathe. Sleep. Repeat.
Wellness is not a new invention. In 1888, we did not have "adaptogens" or "bio-hacking." We just had tea.

Introducing the Remedy Collection.

We have dug into the archives to bring you the blends that have been restoring foggy heads and tired spirits in Bath for over a century. No buzzwords, no science lab—just the original cure.

Because sometimes the old ways are the best ways.

1888 - 2026. Still working.

Gold standard. Festive. Vibing.

We always say our blending standards are gold, but this is getting ridiculous! 😂

It seems word has gotten out that to hang with our Mistress Blender during December, you have to bring your A-game. Proof that it takes a head-to-toe commitment to shine as bright as she does this time of year. ✨

Come soak up the vibes (and grab some spectacular tea) this weekend!
