“Flying Bird Botanicals is a thoughtfully curated tea destination that's earned a devoted following over more than a decade, known for meticulously crafted organic blends packaged in biodegradable sachets that feel as intentional as they taste. Families and long-time loyalists return again and again for specific blends like Tummy Coat and Twilight Tea, while the shop's creative offerings—from matcha preparations to signature wellness teas—make it a meaningful local fixture in Bellingham's community. Whether you're discovering them for the first time or restocking your entire tea cabinet, there's a genuine care in every blend that goes beyond typical café fare.”

"I absolutely love Flying Bird Botanicals! The sachets (biodegradable) are filled with clean, organic ingredients that make a noticeable difference in flavor. Each blend is thoughtfully crafted, and the flavors are simply amazing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for high-quality tea!"
Our whole family loves Flying Bird Botanicals Tea! We have an entire cupboard full of probably just about every flavor available. Our kids count on Tummy Coat, Cold Comfort, and Throat Soothe when they're not feeling well. My wife starts every day with Irish Breakfast first thing, then Lavender Orange Grey. Personally, I love a Dream Catcher hot toddy for a deep sleep. Outstanding products and an awesome local business!
My wife and I have been a loyal customer of Flying Bird Botanicals for a decade since the Etsy days, but unfortunately their latest batch was very lacking compared to the prior ones. Reached-out to share feedback, yet they were very dismissive claiming I didn't know how to brew the tea properly, and that the lots ordered were "exactly the same" as the prior ones I had ordered previously. Considering I had brewed them side by side and they were worlds different, I find the explanation not lining up. No renumeration was offered, or other options were explored such as receiving the tea back to investigate. Disappointed and would not purchase again, and saddened that I can no longer support this small business. This review is my personal opinion based on experience with using the products offered.
I love Flying Bird! I’ve never been in person; a friend of mine bought their tea as a Secret Santa present and I’ve been ordering online ever since. My favorite is Bluebird Morning paired with black tea and honey - delicious!! They are also very thoughtful with online orders; I have received hand written notes and extra tea samples to try!!
This is a wonderful local Bellingham treasure. Flying Bird Botanical Tea has been a staple in many Bellingham restaurants, shops, and pantries. My particular favorite is the Twilight Tea, it has been a personal favorite of mine for 6 years. This is hands down the best peppermint tea in the world-it is minty, spicy, full and refreshing all in one. This is the perfect cup to give someone who wants a taste of Bellingham. Their online shop is easy to navigate, and they shipped my order so quickly! I appreciate the time they took to write me a little note as well :) They are the best. I am missing Bellingham, but I have a connection to it through their tea. Support local business!
