Reviews
Really enjoyed both the Rooibos
"Really enjoyed both the Rooibos Breakfast tea and the Gingerbread Chai both have their own different flavours I particularly like the honey accents in the Breakfast tea ( although it’s not sweet ) and the ginger was very refreshing in the Gongerbread Chai both have."
My Absolute Fave.... So Far!
"It's impossible to have an absolute fave as every time I go in to my local friendly B&B shop, there's always an amazing new tea to try and I get a latte of it too. BUT... with all of the packets of tea I have in my cupboard, THIS is the one I keep going for. It's so comforting and only a little spice, even my young children love it! I make it last too by getting a couple of mugs-worth out of one scoop. I don't like waste! I even just ordered my next tin as go through it so quickly! Thanks B&B! I don't even drink coffee at home now as love this too much!"
Delicious tea
"I really enjoyed this but have to stop for a while due to one of the herbs interacting with medication I am on. Real shame as it is delicious."
Heavy on the ginger
"I do like this tea but it is very heavy on the ginger and less in the bread... Not quite what I was expecting"
Gingerbread Chai
"I decided to purchase one of your chairs products as I was looking for a different option of my tea I usually drink. Once I got the amount correct for my taste I have thoroughly enjoyed this chai."
Warm and spicy
"This tea is just what the doctor ordered for the upcoming autumn mornings (and even in the evening) Will definitely be buying more"
Leaving my comfort zone
"I took a punt on this one as I want to try lots of different tea flavours over the coming months. I wasn’t sure for the first couple of cups, but I have come to enjoy this very much indeed."
I have become slightly obsessed with ginger chai
"My name’s Dave and I’m a ginger chai addict. There I’ve said it. It is delightful hot or cold. Dip a ginger biscuit in it and you will go to heaven."
Very warming
"This was a little spicier than expected, but still tasty!"
Q&A
- I am going to ordered some tea for a Christmas present, do you sell tea caddies to go with it , I live in Sheffield, Thank you
- Hi Madeline! We have a pre-packed caddy of this tea, which is discounted over Christmas! https://www.birdandblendtea.com/products/gingerbread-chai-tea-caddy Anna @ B&B
- Hi, I was just wondering if you have the nutritional info for the teas available, pls? Are they like other teas in that they are all negligible calories without milk? Thank you
- Hello Andrea - thank you for your questions - you are perfectly correct - they are like all our blends (minus our Sticky Chai's which contain honey) and are not high enough in nutritional value to be counted. Happy sipping! Andi @ B&B
- I just bought this tea after sampling it in your shop in Guildford. I’ve just made at home and doesn’t taste as good as it did in the shop. What is the tea to water ratio? I think perhaps I’ve made it too weak?
- Hi Hannah, Thanks for getting in touch with a great question! We recommend using 1 heaped teaspoon of loose-leaf tea in your infuser with approx 300- 350ml of water. You can always adjust the amounts and try adding more tea if needed. If you need anymore help with this please get in touch at info@birdandblendtea.com and we'll be happy to help! Happy Sipping, Claire @ B&B
- Hi, I found the ginger element quite strong (I think I was expecting more of a sweet gingerbread biscuit taste). What's the best way to soften the ginger spice that hits the back of your throat? Its great when you're feeling a bit of the flu coming, but as a regular drink its a bit too sharp for me.
- Hi Ruth, thanks for asking! I love this as a latte. It calms the spices a bit and makes it super cosy! https://www.birdandblendtea.com/blogs/recipes/how-to-make-black-tea-lattes
- I absolutely love the taste of this tea, but I don't quite know how to make it the milky masala chai way! Can you please give some instructions on how to make it milk based? I tried brewing in just milk but that came out too weak. Is there a particular ratio of milk to water I should follow? Thanks in advance! :)
- Hi Fraces, thanks for asking such a great question! I love to slowly bring mine to a very gentle simmer on the stove over the lowest heat, just in oat milk. You might also like to cold brew it in oat milk for around 8 hours and strain it out. Around 5-6 teaspoons to 750ml is about right for me. Happy Sipping! Ian @ B&B
