Quick answer
The Norwich Summer Mixer is a limited-edition loose leaf tea blend from Bird & Blend Tea Co. that shines as a cold brew or iced tea, making it ideal for warm days.
Why this blend works for summer
The Norwich Summer Mixer is designed with warm-weather brewing in mind. Bird & Blend Tea Co. offers it as part of a cold brew experience, which extracts a smooth, naturally sweet flavor without bitterness—perfect when you want a refreshing drink without turning on the stove.
Because it's a limited edition, availability can vary. If you're looking for a consistent summer staple, you may want to stock up when it's in season, or explore other fan-favorite blends from their tea wall as alternatives.
Diagnosing your summer tea needs
- Symptom: You want a tea that tastes refreshing and not bitter when served cold or over ice.
- Likely cause: Many teas turn astringent when iced or cold brewed, especially if they contain large amounts of traditional black tea or are brewed too hot.
- Corrective action: Choose a blend specifically crafted for cold brewing, like the Norwich Summer Mixer. Follow the included cold brew tips: steep 2 teaspoons of leaves in cold water for 8–12 hours in the fridge, then strain and serve over ice. If you don't have a cold brew pitcher, a large jar or French press works fine.
- When to choose another option: If you prefer hot-brewed tea and want a blend that works equally well hot and iced, look for a versatile black or green tea blend. The Norwich Summer Mixer is optimized for cold brew, so hot brewing may not deliver the same balanced flavor.
