Allergens in Our Teas
At Bird & Blend we are tea blend specialists & our aim is to create fun, accessible and tasty tea for everyone to enjoy. We use all sorts of wonderful ingredients from all over the world and therefore cannot guarantee they haven't been processed in an environment where they may have come into contact with allergens. 99% of our teas are vegan friendly, all are vegetarian.
The more unusual ingredients that we use in some of our blends, such as candied fruits or candy sprinkles can contain nuts, dairy and wheat as well as sugar and preservatives. Most are only trace level and once infused in a cup of tea these ingredients are very low.
In order to make your own choices regarding which teas are suitable for you, please check the ingredients section on each individual tea’s page where any allergens are shown in bold. In addition our tea packaging always feature ingredients with allergens in bold.
WARNING: Our teas are hand packed in the UK in environments that handle many different blending ingredients and we cannot 100% guarantee no cross-contamination. Therefore all blends may contain traces of: wheat, nuts, peanuts, milk, soya, mustard, sesame and sulphites.

Warning: Activated charcoal can interfere with medication as it binds to toxins. We recommend that you do not drink our charcoal matcha if on any medication. This also applies to the contraceptive pill.
PLEASE NOTE: Sulphites are used in foods due to their anti-bacterial and preservative properties. None of Bird & Blend’s blends contain sulphites as an ingredient but some of our dried fruit pieces come from a factory that uses Sulphur dioxide (E220) to prevent browning and rotting for some of its other dried fruit pieces (none that Bird & Blend use) so we cannot guarantee there are no traces.
*Our Apple & Pears Matcha contains sulphur dioxide*
