Who are Bird & Blend Tea Co.?

Bird & Blend Tea Co. is an eco-conscious, people-focused, award-winning & B Corp-certified Tea Mixology company on a mission to spread happiness & reimagine tea

Bird & Blend was set up & is run by Krisi & Mike, who met whilst studying Politics (of all things) at university.

Building Bird & Blend from scratch while staying true to their ethos & values has been Krisi & Mike's passion for over 10 years.

From the early days of packing tea in their bedroom & attending markets, to now, with an awesome team, multiple retail stores & a thriving international online store, Bird & Blend is leading the way in tea innovation in the UK.

Bird & Blend has grown out of a core belief in doing business in a better way. This is ultimately our why - it's why we are in business & what we believe in. Of course, we want to welcome as many people as possible into our Magical World of Tea but fundamentally it's what we care about other than great tea that makes us magical.
