Reviews
Nice as a Milk!
"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."
More Vanilla than Violet
"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!!"
Un parfum délicat
"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"
Creamiest of them all
"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."
Perfect!
"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."
GAME CHANGER 🤩
"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"
Love it
"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"
My love for violet cream
"This tea is fantastic, it has a wonderful scent and flavour!! My new favourite tea, thank you for this masterpiece"
Delicious
"I made a violet cream latte with this tea and it tasted divine."
