You’ll be happy to know that almost all of our teas are vegan-friendly! The only exception is our Golden Honeycomb blend, which contains bee pollen.

Every blend is delicious on its own or with a splash of your favourite plant-based milk - we personally love oat milk, as it pairs beautifully with our brews and brings out those cosy, comforting flavours.

If you ever have questions about ingredients, just pop us a message at contact@bardsbrews.com and we’ll be happy to help!

Our teas have a Best Before date of around 12 months, and we always aim to send out blends that have at least 6 months left on the clock.

The lovely thing about tea is that, when stored in a cool, dry place, it often stays fresh and flavourful even beyond the Best Before date. We recommend checking the label on your pouch for the exact date and giving your tea a good sniff and sip — if it still smells magical, it’s likely good to brew!

We do! Bard’s Brews offers a lovely selection of naturally caffeine-free teas, along with blends that are low or medium in caffeine if you're just looking to cut back.

To make it easy, we list the caffeine content (none, low, or medium) in the ingredients section of each product page. You can also use the caffeine filter in our shop to browse based on your preference — whether you're after something totally calming or a gentle pick-me-up.

You might spot ‘natural flavourings’ listed in some of our blends - and here’s what that really means: these are components, extracts, essences, or oils that come entirely from natural raw materials. They’re called natural because they’re derived from nature, not synthetic or chemical alternatives.

A classic example? Earl Grey, which uses natural bergamot oil to create its iconic citrusy note.

At Bard’s Brews, we work with a trusted supplier who ensures all natural flavourings are fully compliant with Food Standards Agency (FSA) regulations. They contain no artificial additives, no major allergens, and typically make up less than 1% of a tea blend.

We also offer plenty of blends - including many bestsellers - that are free from any added flavourings. If you’d like help choosing the right teas for your preferences, we’re always here to help at contact@bardsbrews.com.

Almost all of our teas are so light and lovely that their calorie content after brewing is negligible - even the ones with fruit pieces! Because the calories are so low, they fall below the threshold required for food labelling.
