I set up my company at the age of 23 with my business partner Mike. We had been in Canada working as ski instructors after we graduated from University and didn’t want to return to the UK to work a 9-5 job doing something we weren’t passionate about. We had ideas about doing business differently and wanted to prove it was possible to run a successful business by prioritising people and planet as well as profit. We returned to the UK and started up a loose leaf tea business!
From day one we put sustainability high on our priority list and this has not changed. We keep people & the planet at the forefront of our decision making and went from packing tea in our back bedroom to having 200+ staff, 17 stores (and counting!) across the UK and a thriving international online store. Our company, Bird & Blend is leading the way in tea innovation in the UK!
After travelling across the country and exploring the very best our cities, towns and villages have to offer, The Sunday Times’ expert judges have made their decision: Norwich has officially been named the Best Place to Live in the UK for 2026. Find out what made us top the list!
