Independent tea company Bird & Blend are opening their newest branch on Pinstone Street this Friday 6th September, joining many other businesses taking up residence in Sheffield’s Heart of the City development.
Offering over 100 tea-licious flavours, Bird & Blend Tea Co. creates a fun, interactive in-store experience mixing award-winning tea-based drinks. From inventive flavours such as Birthday Cake, MojiTEA and Chocolate Digestives, to firm favourites Builders’ Breakfast Brew, Earl Grey Crème and many more, there’s something to try for tea-lovers of all tastes.
As well as mixing teas, the Sheffield team will also host live free matcha tea demos, mixology classes, tea-matching services and many more creative events. Showcasing its range of teas in its bespoke Tea Wall display, the store also offers the largest matcha tea selection in the UK, and features a takeaway tea bar for those just dropping in.
Mike Turner, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Bird & Blend Tea Co. explained: “The regeneration in Sheffield City Centre is remarkable and we wanted to be a part of that. 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.”
Sustainability is at the forefront of the brand, informing product choices and the everyday running of Bird & Blend. To celebrate the opening of its Sheffield store, the brand has created its first Sustainability Grant and Mentoring Programme – the initiative will offer advice to a local business, and inject a cash fund to help improve the organisation’s impact on people and the planet.
Councillor Ben Miskell commented: “We are delighted to welcome Bird & Blend to Sheffield. All together, we are ensuring that visitors to our city centre, along with residents, are able to enjoy a varied, exciting and inspiring experience.”
