Our favorite tea shops in Bristol
3 places we'd send a friend to, with prices we checked ourselves.
Bristol is a big city with a short list of places that sell leaf to take home. One shop is devoted to it: Bird & Blend's Park Street store, with a wall of 100 blends and a pear cider tea made only for its West Country shops. The rest of the loose tea lives in the refill shops Bristol has more of than most British cities: Zero Green in Bedminster and Preserve on Gloucester Road both weigh out organic Assam, sencha and rooibos by the 100 g at prices well under boutique level. Prices are in pounds with VAT included, and the Whittard branch in Broadmead is listed without prices because its own store page did not answer the day we checked.

Zero Green

In storeShips onlineHours: Tue–Fri 10:00–18:00 · Sat 9:00–17:00 · Sun 10:00–16:00 · Mon closed· 5 verified pricesBristol's first zero-waste shop, at 80 North Street in Bedminster, closed on Mondays and open Tuesday to Friday 10:00–18:00, Saturday 9:00–17:00 and Sunday 10:00–16:00.

Bring your own jar, or order online and it arrives in a paper bag, with free delivery over 50 £ to Bristol postcodes. Its Assam, English Breakfast, Earl Grey and rooibos were out of stock the day we read the site, so the black-tea shelf is wider than these rows.

- Whittard of Chelsea · Broadmead, The GalleriesNo online prices yet
The chain's national site prices its loose teas clearly (English Breakfast, Earl Grey and Darjeeling at 10,95 £ the 100 g, Sencha Asagiri 15,95 £), but the store-locator page that publishes the Bristol branch's address did not answer today from anywhere we tried, and the main site's own store search could not find it. Without the address read on the shop's site there is no row to show. Visit website →
