Great customer service

Great customer service!
Helped me with my loose tea purchase and explained about the matcha range as I was curious but had had a bad taster experience from a coffee shop brand.

Showed me how to make it and gave me a sample to try. I ended up buying some.
happy customer

Matcha Magic Whisk no show

Ordered their Matcha magic whisk a week ago with 48h service. Still waiting and customer service tells me there's nothing they can do and to keep waiting! It was meant as a bday present so it's a massive no no for me. Will be servicing them with a free anti-campain for a long time.

Tea Workshop is a must!

Went to the tea blending workshop at the Bristol store last week in early-May - really good fun. Well done to Ellie - she delivered the workshop with clarity, clear explanation and good details about the way the teas we tried tasted. Also gave great info about how we should be making tea. Who knew hibiscus and lemonade worked so well!! Really informative, tasty and interesting - a great present idea, and the tasters and bags you get to make are brilliant. Highly recommended!

Great product and customer service

I discovered Bird & Blend last summer when on holiday in York. First impressions of the shop were great, it was really welcoming and I came away with a tea strainer set and some loose leaf tea. Recently my brewdini started leaking and customer service were so helpful, sending out a spare part and then when that didn’t work they sent a brand new replacement brewdini. Super company and the teas are all fantastic!

Fantastic customer experience :) I was passing the Nottingham store when…

I was passing the Nottingham store when I decided to pop in and investigate matcha tea as I had heard about it but never knew what it was about. The lad who served me was just brilliant, I am so sorry I didn’t get his name but he was the only male I seen there on Monday and had an Irish accent. He was fantastic explaining matchas benefits and giving me a demonstration with no pressure selling, I didn’t purchase it as when I first tried it I wasn’t sure but I left with a cold tea and by the time I finished it I was craving more. I have recently started some medication leaving me bloated and my skin dull and I really felt this helped. I will be back soon to get a set but I wanted to pass on what a lovely experience I had in store with him. Thanks :)

Brilliant Tea Blending Workshop Manchester

Had such a great time at the Manchester Tea Blending Workshop on 11/05/25. Emily and Frankie were absolutely brilliant, really knowledgeable, friendly, kind and patient. We thoroughly enjoyed it and loved buying lots of interesting teas at the end and trying so many. Look forward to revising the store and also doing the cocktail workshop! Emily and Frankie are a credit to the store.

Hugely recommend

I attended a blending experience in Leeds today with Ellie & Scott.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, tasted some lovely teas and made some of my own.
Experience had been bought as a gift & I recommend it.
I've not been brewing right even though the instructions are on the packets.
Learnt a lot & walked away having spent a bit too much on blend I thought I wouldn't have bought again

Top Teas

Hey guys!! I've visited 2 of your stores now, Edinburgh and Liverpool. Can I just say the whole idea is brilliant. I've been using the cold brews to really cut down on sugar. The matcha has a nice caffeine kick, and if I do a double dose of it, it really helps level out my ADHD 😊 I'm not sure who the lady was serving in Liverpool on Friday afternoon, but this is the second time she has served me but her knowledge of the stock and service b&b offer is brilliant and she has been so helpful on 2 occasions.
Please keep up the good work guys and I look forward to trying new flavours and also attending some workshops 😊

Good service, bad tea!

No issues with the customer service at all. The tea, however is terrible. If you like to be able to taste the tea, this brand is not for you.

Sadly it misses out on what could be good teas

I’m a lover of herbal teas, I’ve had all sorts from around the world. I was so excited by the array of flavours and blends so got an assortment. Sadly I was disappointed as they all have a similar taste and when you look at the ingredients they are all similar with some additions. I feel it just almost makes it but misses the flavours. Sadly it’s not for me and won’t be buying from them again.

Hi Daryl,

Thanks so much for your honest feedback. We’re really sorry your recent assortment didn’t quite hit the mark for you. We totally understand how disappointing it can be when you’re excited to try new flavours and they don’t quite sparkle as expected.

We really appreciate you giving us a try and sharing your thoughts! It helps us keep improving our blends so there’s something special for every kind of tea-lover.
