Reviews
Prefect "Traditional" Tea to start the day
"Perfect black tea to start the day"
The perfect brew
"I am annoyingly fussy with tea. This one is my go to. Its a great blend. Really flavourful but still a traditional taste."
Love this every morning
"This is my go-to morning breakfast brew!"
Disappointing
"As I find the taste disappointing and not nearly string enough I’ve been wondering if it our [filtered] tap water. Today I tried using bottled water but still disappointed. Maybe I don’t leave the bag in the water for the correct time?"
Love it strong
"Go this and the great British cuppa, very different in appearance and taste. This tea has a very strong tanning just what you need in the morning a full bodied hit of black tea that gets your mouth wanting more. Loved it"
Lovely brew
"This makes a wonderful brew. I use a cast iron pot with warmer under it and find that tea usually stews a little too much by the time you get to the last cup. This tea doesn't. The last cup is as good as the first. Very consistent and full of flavour,"
The BEST breakfast tea! I
"The BEST breakfast tea! I love it!"
Brings back memories
"We have tried to find somewhere to buy loose leaf tea for ages. It was a joy to find Bird and Blend in Brighton and even better to be able to buy a loose leaf tea that reminds us both of our grandparents. What we would call the ‘perfect cuppa’"
Great strength
"Really nice cuppa to have with breakfast or a wee afternoon break. We discovered this in the Nottingham branch. It was our first purchase from Bird &Blend and the lady in store was really helpful!"
