Blendsmiths, the innovative brand redefining how people drink across the UK and beyond, offers an alternative to traditional tea and coffee with its premium range of drinking chocolates, chai and matcha blends. Each product is crafted to take your taste buds on an unforgettable journey. With a commitment to quality, sustainability and ethical sourcing, Blendsmiths proves that indulgence and responsibility can go hand in hand.

Founded by lifelong friends Ryan Moore and Chris Farnworth, Blendsmiths has grown from a passion project into a celebrated brand stocked in some of the UK’s most prestigious retailers. But what makes Blendsmiths truly stand out is not just the taste and variety of their products—it’s the values and vision behind every cup.

A friendship that led to a revolution in drinking

Blendsmiths is built on a foundation of friendship. Ryan and Chris have known each other since their teenage years, where they spent weekends playing football and later studied Sports Science, Nutrition and Business at university. Their shared interests and complementary skills laid the groundwork for what would become Blendsmiths.

Ryan—the creative visionary, has years of experience working with leading global brands in the consumer goods sector, while Chris—the pragmatic organiser, brings over a decade of financial expertise to the table. Together, their combined talents allow them to challenge the status quo of the beverage industry, creating premium alternatives that blend flavour with ethical responsibility.

“We aim to change the way the world drinks”—says Ryan. Their mission is simple: to create high-quality, ethically sourced drinks that bring a moment of happiness to people’s daily routines. And they have been doing just that since their launch in 2017.

The Blendsmiths difference

Blendsmiths prides itself on using only the finest ingredients to create drinks that are as ethically sourced as they are delicious. From rich, indulgent drinking chocolates to vibrant chai and matcha blends, Blendsmiths offers something for everyone. Every blend is designed to spark joy and conversation, while maintaining a focus on sustainability.

One of the standout features of Blendsmiths is its dedication to sustainability. The company has gone above and beyond to ensure that all its packaging is fully recyclable. In partnership with Wildnut Studios Design Company, they developed packaging that not only amplifies their brand’s visual appeal but also reduces their environmental footprint.

Blendsmiths is now one of only two vegan manufacturing sites in the UK, demonstrating its commitment to both ethical sourcing and sustainable production practices. Their products are served in cafes across the UK and Europe—including Barcelona, thanks to partnerships like the one with Spanish distributor El Magnifico.

One of Blendsmiths’ most popular offerings is their luxurious White Chocolate Blend. Rich, creamy and completely vegan, this drink is a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth. Crafted with melted Peruvian cocoa butter, Madagascan vanilla pods, coconut milk powder and a hint of Himalayan salt, it delivers a velvety mouthfeel that rivals traditional white chocolate drinks.

The blend’s deep, authentic flavours come from its natural ingredients—no synthetic flavours here. The Madagascan vanilla pods provide a fragrant sweetness, while the cocoa butter ensures a rich and buttery finish. It’s the perfect indulgence for a cosy night in, and it pairs wonderfully with any plant-based milk.

Blendsmiths’ White Chocolate Blend is a shining example of how the brand elevates plant-based drinks to new heights, proving that you don’t need dairy to enjoy the luxuries of white chocolate.

A range of flavours to explore

Blendsmiths is not limited to just a few blends. In fact, they offer more than ten different flavour options, each one crafted with the same attention to detail and ethical sourcing. One of the more exotic flavours in their range is the Chill’d Strawberry Coconut blend, a refreshing and fruity option that’s perfect for warmer days or those who prefer a lighter, more tropical taste experience.

Another standout is the Beetroot & Ginger Blend: an incredibly delicious combination of beetroot and several flavoursome spices, ready to be mixed with your milk of choice. This remarkable blend will surprise you beyond all doubt, with a taste that takes you on a journey of distinguished flavours. Delicate and mild tones of beetroot are paired with a range of spices, delivering gentle sweetness and a rich array of wonderful flavours.

The diversity of their offerings allows customers to explore new flavours and experiences, from the bold richness of drinking chocolates to the subtle, soothing notes of matcha and chai.

Giving back: Supporting the most vulnerable

Blendsmiths is not just about great drinks; it’s also about giving back to the community. The brand has partnered with Mustard Tree, a charity that helps tackle homelessness and poverty in Manchester, by donating a percentage of every sale to support their mission. This commitment to social responsibility is just another way Blendsmiths ensures that their success benefits others.

The future of Blendsmiths

Blendsmiths’ journey has been one of growth and evolution. From humble beginnings to being stocked in all three Selfridges stores across the UK, the brand continues to expand its reach. While their focus remains on working with independent cafes and wholesalers, Blendsmiths has plans to explore new product categories in the future.

As Ryan and Chris continue to innovate and push the boundaries of what plant-based drinks can be, one thing is clear: Blendsmiths is here to stay and they’re changing the way we drink—one delicious cup at a time.
