We visited Bird & Blend Tea Co, to take a look inside of their brand-new Newcastle shop. 

The independent tea company which was founded in 2013 by Mike Turner and Krisi Smith, have launched their 19th location in the UK, arriving in Newcastle’s bustling Grainger Street.

Bird & Blend Tea Co specialises in loose teas in unique flavours, which includes; their best-selling fruit tea Strawberry Lemonade, autumnal blend Bonfire Toffee and many more.

To celebrate the launch of their Newcastle shop, Bird & Blend Tea Co have launched a special edition tea dedicated to Newcastle, named Newcastle Tea on the Tyne.

The tea is a smoky breakfast blend inspired by the coal mine at the foot of the Angel of the North, with red peppercorns to reflect the rusty red colour of the iconic landmark.

Mike Turner, Co-Founder, “We see our stores as not just retail spaces, but as community hubs where customers can come to make connections with one another and our team, and enjoy interacting with our teas. For us, there will always be a place for magical in-person experiences on the high street.”
