Darvilles of Windsor is a long-established family business and has been blending and supplying teas for over 140 years. We opened our first grocery and tea shop in 1860 and since then
six generations of Darvilles have continued the tradition - supplying the finest speciality teas. Tea connoisseurs say you can almost taste the history.
Since we began all those years ago, we have been in the forefront of business in Windsor and have always had strong ties with the town's history and culture. Local people have always worked at Darvilles - some nearly all their lives - Walter Langford was with us for 71 years! We hope this loyalty says something about our company and our product.

Distinctive Packaging
The perfect gift or souvenir, our teas come attractively packaged to reflect their Royal connection. They depict old and rare paintings of Windsor Castle throughout its history - the majority of the paintings reside in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London - each blend having its own individual picture and colour-code, which includes details of the artist. An ideal combination for those who want to take home a taste of Windsor.
By Royal Appointment
We are proud to have had the Royal Warrant for over fifty years, which is a mark of recognition for companies who are regular suppliers to the Royal Household. Our Warrant, granted by Her Majesty The Queen, was first awarded to us by King George VI in 1946 - and we are now the oldest company in Windsor to have this recognition of quality and service.
