    Black tea | Medium caffeine

    We know there is nothing better than a cuppa tea and cake (except perhaps a cake flavoured cuppa!)

    This black loose leaf tea blend is inspired by the Victoria's sponge cake, which was invented by Queen Victoria herself! She found that afternoon tea just wasn't enough and needed a little extra - we like your thinking QV!

    A perfect blend of vanilla & raspberry with black tea - I say!

    Ingredients
    Sri Lankan Black Tea, Freeze-Dried Raspberry, Raspberry Leaves, Desiccated Coconut, Natural Flavouring

    Warning: Packed in an environment that contains nuts.

    hmmmm

    "i bought this as some tasters, and my initial try of it hot, i was getting a lot of the tea, and a lot of the raspberry leaf, but not so much of the coconut or cakey flavour experience. ill cold brew it see if that changes but right now im not sure if this is a tea for me personally"

    Q&A

    Opening the pouch and the tea looks like it's covered in a white film, is that expected or did something go wrong with it?
    Hi Francesca! Our packaging is fully home compostable and made from paper and plant-based materials such as eucalyptus and corn starch. It will naturally break down into CO₂, water, and biomass - and some of the natural oils in our blends can occasionally interact with the inner lining of the pouch (this won't affect the quality or taste of the tea inside!) I hope this helps, but if this description sounds different to what your tea looks like, please do send us a picture to info@birdandblendtea.com so that we can investigate further! Anna @ B&B
