"A gorgeous cup of tea. Recently realised that I love the taste of violet, and paired with chocolate and vanilla, it's pure bliss. Only issue is the cleanup of the loose leaf tea afterwards but that's what happens when tea doesn't come in bags. Oh well!"
"Absolutely beautiful tea! Smells divine and tastes even better. Please never stop making this."
"I asked a member of staff at the Manchester store what their favourite tea was and I was recommended this one. It didn't disappoint. Lovely flavour, a hug in a mug. I will be back to buy more soon :)"
"This hasn't been my favourite of the teas I've tried and took more experiments to find something I liked. If you cold brew it in some oat milk I found it to be less bitter than when steeped in hot water. You can use that milk to make a hot chocolate as well which was really delicious."
"I was most excited to try this tea as violet creams are my chocolate indulgence. The smell of the dry tea is mainly of violet however once brewed I'd struggle to identify violet. It is however a delicious tea nonetheless. If you ever blend an "ultraviolet" please count me in!!"
"Je l’ai offert à une amie et je n’ai pas résisté je l’ai goûté ! Un goût juste comme il faut pas trop fort, délicat ! Bravo"
"I purchased violet cream at the new shop in Camden. The staff was amazing, very kind and friendly. I enjoy this tea, it has a lovely floral aroma with a bit of a dark chocolate aftertaste. I recommend! Bird & Blend Tea Co. is my absolute favorite shop in London, never miss to visit it whenever I'm in town."
"A lovely mix of floral with deep dark chocolate notes to balance it out; usually floral gets too much for me but this is one of my favourite teas, good with and without milk."
"Today when in the Guildford store, which I must say once again experiencing amazing customer service, I decided to go a bit rogue with my beverage of choice - cold brewed Violet Cream with lemonade. Violet Cream was already a favourite tea of mine, always being present in my tea rotation as a hot brew - I can definitely say now it will feature as a cold brew too! I very highly recommend this - #bemorerouge"
"Would be a tea I’d be naturally drawn to, but the fact the shop offers samples around the store meant we’ve tried something different that we love as a cold brew"
