Love this company! Top notch teas!

I love this company and their practices and products are top notch!

I visited their shop in Brighton last year and came back with serval teas. Since then I have made several orders.

I have never been into tea until now and I am completely addicted. Their tea is wonderful, beautiful to look at, full of flavour, they smell amazing and very comforting to drink and worth every penny. I love the natural ingredients and their environmental practices.

This week I did receive a wrong order. I emailed over the weekend and then called this morning.
I spoke to customer services ( an actual person!) she was very apologetic and I received an email immediately after my call. I can keep the wrong order 40 pouches of Snowball and my correct order Mulled cider is on its way! ☺️

Teas I love
Mulled cider is- spicy apple and very warming
Cherry Bakewell - sweet and delicious
Rhubarb and custard- makes me feel like I’m eating sweets when I’m not! Probably my favourite
Edinburgh rock - delicious and comforting

I’m not so keen on Snowball and All things nice, just not my sort of flavours.

Wonderful experience

The staff are so friendly and knowledgable. I loved seeing how the Matcha was made in the magic whisk. The whole place is a hidden gem. If you like tea you'll love this place.

Friendly staff in shop, but product (Sunny Sencha Green Tea) tasteless and expensive after numerous attempts of strengthening brews.

Hi John, thank you so much for visiting us in store! Our Sunny Sencha blend is one we recommend for people who like an unflavoured green tea, and brews best at 80 degrees for no longer than 3 minutes (it's also gorgeous with a pump of honey). But we have plenty of green tea blends with a wide variety of flavours! Feel free to contact us at info@birdandblendtea.com if you need further assistance, we would be happy to help! Anna @ B&B

A Must Visit

Could not recommend popping in more! I visited the Canterbury branch and the staff are friendly, polite and more than willing to lend a hand and as an extra positive the free teas were absolutely delicious :)

Liverpool shop

A big thank you to all of the staff at the branch on Bold Street, Liverpool! A couple of friends and I visited on Saturday, and we were warmly welcomed in and invited to sample the various teas. It was no problem at all when I said that I wasn't much of a tea drinker, but wanted to try new flavours. I bought a small sachet of "cherry cola bottle" tea, and already want to buy a top-up!

Overpriced

EDIT: Customer service quickly rectified the problem and offered a gift card refund for the mug. Changed my review to 5* as this sort of good service is rare.

The tea is okay but considering the price you don't get much and it isn't anything special. I bought a mug and it broke within a week (normal use).

Worth it for me?

I liked moondrop dreams for winding down at night. The aroma matched the description and the low caffeine options helped my routine. Online staff were clear about caffeine levels, and the refill pocuhes and sampler boxers are practical with tidy eco packaging from bird & blend tea co.

Shipping to New Zealand was slow and two tins arrived slightly dented, so I would not gift them. Some blends like blue raspberry tasted more sweet than expected, and the subscription was not easy to pause or swap.

speedy customer service that actually helps

last week my moondrop dream tin arrived a bit dent and the lid wouldnt seal so i messaged bird & blend tea co and they repliyed the same day with a replactment and some helpfultips. they let me switch my subscription to refill pouches for a month while the fragile tins were in transit and explained caffeine levels for their blue raspberry and gingerbread chai so i could stick to low caf at night. the aroma and flavor are spot on, moondrop dreams really help me wind down and sleep better. packaging was eco and the tin was packed super safely, honestly felt like they cared. popped into the tasting bar after and the staff gave more advice too, really really solid support allround.

Thoughtful packaging, comforting night brews

My moondrop dreams and gingerbread chai arrived quickly and well packaged in sturdy tins with the refill pouches tucked flat so nothing rattled. Zero dents despite a bumpy courier ride, and the paper tape and the compostable packing beans felt properly eco. Opening a box, a warm cozy gingerbread aroma drifted out which was oddly calming before I'd even brewed anything.

The infuser bottle I added is easy to clean and doesn't leak, so I can brew on my commute without faff. Moondrop dreams steeps clear with a soft blue hue and the mouthfeel is silky, perfect for winding down at night. I appreciate the little note about low caffeine on the label, matching the Brighton tasting bar staff advised me when I asked. Well, a bit pricey but worth it for the thoughtful details and flavor accuracy. I'll stick to the refill pouches next time to cut waste.

Best customer service ever

In the bird and blend shop in Leeds I was meant with one of the friendliest people his name was Scott. He had so much knowledge which was great because I had a ton of questions. He was a brilliant listener and I can't wait to come back and buy some awesome tea gadgets and tea !!

Attended the tea workshop in Sheffield tonight. Sophie and Ruby were absolutely fantastic! So enthused and passionate about the products. They were both extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We were celebrating two 50th birthdays and all four of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you 😊 ❤️

Lacks taste and the teabags split frequently

Was gifted two boxes of Bird and Blend tea for my birthday in 2024 and have been extremely disappointed at the quality. The pumpkin spice and the peach soda teas are both verging on completely tasteless. I've also had issues with the teabags splitting twice now (out of a total of 4 brewed teas) - a 50% rate isn't great! Wouldn't buy again.

Don't accept cash

Disappointed that they don't accept cash in their shops, and the only way to get a receipt is by giving my email.

In brands that look to be socially forward thinking discrimination against people without a bank account is not ok.

Hi Maddy,

I hope you are well and thank you so much for taking the time to get in touch with some feedback.

With everything we do at Bird & Blend, a lot of thought and consideration goes into decision making processes. Prior to the pandemic we did offer both card and cash payments but, like many businesses, we made the decision to stop taking cash during this time. We always have the best interests of our customers and our teams at the forefront of everything we do so the decision to remain cashless was about health and safety more than anything else.

Although we are no longer in the middle of a pandemic, we have continued to carefully monitor the demand for cash payments and I'm afraid, at the moment, the demand is not high enough for us to consider making a change. Prior to the pandemic our card payments already heavily outweighed cash payments and we very very rarely get any feedback from our customers that this is something they would like us to change. The cost involved in us going back to offering cash payments would incredibly high and at the moment cannot be justified for such a small demand.

The money we save from not offering cash payments is not about profits for us - it is money that we use to continue to carry out all of the charitable work that we do every year. It is money that we can use to give back to our communiTEAs. As for our receipts, we currently offer email or text receipts as a way to reduce paper printing - this is just one of the ways we try to do our bit for the environment as a B-Corp organisation.

Please do let me know if you have any further questions at all, and I'd be happy to help in any way that I can.

Warm wishes,
Anna @ B&B

Another 5 star experience

I left a review about two months ago, so I can’t post another one on Google account, but I just wanted to say how much I continue to enjoy visiting this place. The staff are always passionate about their work, and their knowledge of the products really shines through. Without hesitation, it’s another 5-star experience.

They’re generous with samples and testers, and everything I’ve bought has been delicious. My family in Norway love it when I bring them teas and matchas from Bird & Blend – they always comment on how natural and fresh the flavours are, unlike more artificial-tasting competitors. For me, it’s great value for such high quality.

What makes each visit even better is the staff. They’re always friendly and happy to chat, which makes the experience feel more personal. I especially want to mention Dan – he remembered me from a previous visit, and with my background in hospitality and sales, I can say with confidence that his product knowledge and people skills are outstanding. He’s a real asset to your team and it’s always a pleasure to be served by him.

Keep up the fantastic work, and all the best to Dan and the rest of the team in Cardiff! 👍🏻
