Bird and Blend are independent tea specialists that have grown their business from two people shipping tea out of their back bedroom, to a company of more than 100 tea enthusiasts. Their ever changing range of infusions has something for every taste and make excellent gifts. Check out their shop based opposite Afflecks in the Northern Quarter and taste why they’ve become so successful for yourself.

the smallest possible environmental impact

Each month the tea mixologists come up with seasonal and innovative flavours, for example, this Christmas you can brew up a pot of irish coffee inspired Fairytale of New York or an autumnal hot Apple Cider tea. Check out their full Christmas range online as well as in store. We’re particularly excited about their Christmas pudding Tea Bombs, these round pudding shaped balls of joy can be plopped into hot water to create a glittery version of Bird and Blend’s Salted Caramel Lebkuchen tea.

Outside of the company’s drinkable delicacies, Bird and Blend have fiercely strong ethics. None of their tea bags have ever contained plastic and they’re currently working to create new ways of packaging their teas to have the smallest possible  environmental impact.

Visit their beautifully laid out shop floor this winter to find your own personalised comfort in a mug.

Culture Guides

Theatre in Manchester and the North
Theatre in the North

This season’s theatre is gloriously eclectic: from radical cabaret and reinvented classics to new musicals and boundary-pushing performance.

Detail of an abstract sculpture, with burned materials and rusty chicken wire at the centre, with rusted metal bars bent around it.
Exhibitions in the North

Chocolate fountains, beautiful batiks and medieval marginalia - this month's supersized Exhibitions Guide has it all.

Literature Events in the North

The autumn leaves might be falling already, but the harvest is plentiful as the live literature scene gets back into the swing of things after a summer break...

Cinema in the North

This month we recommend a season of Film noir, cult Australian movies and a huge celebration of DIY community cinema.
