Reviews
Best morning tea!
"I wish I had bought more. You do need some Scottish water to go along with it."
A real classic.
"A lovely cup of tea, it really does have it all. I know its called breakfast tea, but I have it any time of day. It is also a good base for a bit of mix 'n' match - a small scoop of this with a half scoop of the Smoky Russian is delicious, or even with the Classic Chai. A good all rounder :-)"
It's ... fine
"For me this didn't offer anything that a bog-standard teabag doesn't,so in future I will stick to the more interesting flavoured teas."
Great tasting sample
"Classic tea!! Nothing much else to say about it. Done right and tastes great. Got a sample of it in my order, and I'm definitely considering ordering it again."
Great British Cuppa Tea
"What a lovely cuppa! I have a pot on the go, a top up isn’t bitter like other teas! Amazing taste, highly recommend"
A very tasty breakfast tea
"A very tasty breakfast tea 😊"
Love it Love it Love it!!
"I visited the Bird & Blend Tea Co. shop in Windsor when on vacation from the US in May 2026. After I ran through the fabulous tea I'd purchased, in July 2026 I ordered a box of the Great British Cuppa Tea Bag Gift and another tea bag flavor - I am so glad they ship internationally. I enjoy a cuppa Bird & Blend tea daily! Rich and delicious - relaxing as well!"
"Absolutely brilliant, refreshing and slightly cheaper than rivals. Great flavours and packaging. Will be ordering more! Monkey Chops is my favourite so far!"
Tea-rrific
"This is literally the most amazing cup of tea I’ve ever had. On a recent trip to Liverpool with my Mum, we found this gem on bold Street. It will now be a regular order from home here in the states but a definite stop every time we’re in Liverpool!! The ladies at the shop were so kind to my mom on her first trip across the pond. She’s a Tea lover now! Thank you for your delicious teas and for making us feel at home! Already received my first order of Great British Cuppa!!! Cheers!!! YNWA❤️"
Q&A
- Are there any flavour enhancers or chemicals in your tea?
- Hi Denise - we use high-quality whole leaf tea, whole pieces of fruit, spices, herbs & many other incredible ingredients! We have further detailed ingredients and which products they specifically relate to, listed here: https://www.birdandblendtea.com/pages/allergens-tea Warmest brews, Anna @ B&B
- Hi there, we're finding the brew a little on the weak side and are wondering if our mugs are just too big! What size mugs do you use as a basis for your instructions? Thank you!
- Hi there, Mine are around 350ml and I use one rounded teaspoon of tea per mug. But please feel free to experiment to get the right brew for you. You could always add more tea or brew for a bit longer to get it stronger. Em @ BB
- Hi, could I ask whether your tea bags are compostable? Thanks
- Hi Claire! It's a great question, we are very proud that our our tea bags are 100% plastic-free, 100% natural and 100% compostable (and they have been since day one!). They are derived from a cornstarch-based material called soilon. This means you won’t be seeing our tea bags hanging around our seas and landfills. AND, just as importantly for our environment the production of SOILON creates significantly less carbon than plastics too! Ian @ B&B
- I have lost my emails by accident and am seeking my friends address there in the UK, I purchased a gift box for her in the year 2020. Is it possible to get her address from you?
- Hello, thank you for getting in touch. I'm afraid this is something we are not able to divulge due to data protection laws! I hope you understand. Andi@BB
