Birdhouse Tea Company began in a Japanese tea house in London’s Soho, back in 2001. After learning about the centuries-old tradition of the tea ceremony in after-school Japanese lessons, Rebecca English and her mum, Julie, visited a specialist tea house to sample the loose leaf green tea that Rebecca had heard such great things about. Those first curious sips soon became gulps of knowledge, as over the next few years both Rebecca and Julie nurtured their new-found love for loose leaf tea with research, tasting and of course, lots of delicious pots of tea. Their tea house and cafe is now well established in Sheffield, and their tea blends are available in our veg box
