A favourite
"Welsh Cake Cwtch Tea is one of my favourites in a long list of excellent teas. Love the subtle spice and the almost sweet (but without the sugar) taste. I will definitely be going back for more."

When we asked our Cardiff store TEAm to help us come up with their store's very own blend there was a resounding cry for a truly magical Welsh tea.
Now, surely the only thing better than a cup of tea, is a cwtch (Welsh for cosy/hug!) & a Welsh cake.
This blend's got all three! A cosy rooibos blend with sweet bakery notes, cinnamon spice & tangy fruit, just like a welshcake!
As one of our store blends 50% of all profits from sales of this blend will go to our Cardiff store's chosen chariTEA The Queer Emporium Foundation.
Each store has its own blend, designed to represent the people and the local area. Click here to learn more about our Cardiff store or check out the other store blends here!

Reviews
Tasty
"It doesn’t remind me of welsh cakes but it’s still really nice! I think it could do with some more dried fruit and mixed spice instead of just cinnamon"
"Live all there decaf teas 🙌❤️"
Loved it
"Like drinking liquid welsh cakes, yummy"
"Very nice and unique to Wales"
Heart warming
"This is a delicious tea and was a great surprise as it has the added benefit of being caffeine free. A great cuppa for suppa!"
TASTY TASTY
"I really enjoy this tea, the spices in it and the lack of caffeine make it my go to tea in the evenings. Whenever I'm in Cardiff I make sure to pop into the store and stock up!"
The OG
"The tea that first got me into Bird & Blend, love it so much. Reminds me of my Nain (Welsh for Nan) and there is no greater compliment!"
Needs more fruit but otherwise great
"If you’re looking for something that’s like Hot Cinnamon but without the heat, this is the pick. I think it would work better with more berries in it - in a 20g pack you don’t get many so there’s often a bit of faff at the kettle to make sure I get some fruit in each cup."
"Liked it, but can’t help feeling the blend would be better with black tea"
