We have some very exciting news to share. Black Dog Teas has been named Best Artisan Food & Drink Producer in Norfolk in the 2026 Muddy Stilettos Awards!

We were nominated and made the Norfolk regional final. We won our category and couldn't be happier. We are an independent loose leaf tea business in Norwich. Recognition alongside Norfolk's brilliant producers means a huge amount to us. The Muddy Stilettos Awards are special. They are driven by public nominations and votes. This win came from the people who drink and support our tea.

Thank you!

What Are the Muddy Stilettos Awards?

The Muddy Stilettos Awards celebrate the best independent businesses across the UK. Each year, they search for outstanding local businesses in food, drink, hospitality and retail. The awards help you discover independent businesses locally. Regional awards give smaller producers a chance to be recognised by their communities.

Black Dog Teas was nominated for Best Artisan Food & Drink Producer in Norfolk for 2026. We were delighted to be a finalist. Then you voted for us to win!

Norfolk's Best Artisan Food & Drink Producer 2026

Winning Best Artisan Food & Drink Producer in Norfolk feels special. The county has a fantastic independent food scene. Many great producers and makers exist across the county. Winning our category is something we're extremely proud of.

Black Dog Teas has always been about making loose leaf tea a little more exciting.

We love the classics. We also love experimenting with different flavours and ingredients. You'll find traditional teas alongside fruit infusions and rooibos. We also offer seasonal creations and unusual blends. Tea shouldn't feel intimidating or complicated. It should just be really good.

An Independent Tea Business in Norwich

Black Dog Teas is based in Norwich, Norfolk. We love being part of the city's independent business community. Our love of tea grew into a huge range of loose leaf blends. We offer everyday favourites and rare flavours you won't find in supermarkets. Much happens behind the scenes. We constantly taste teas and develop new flavours. This means we drink an unreasonable amount of tea. We're fine with that.

More Than Just Loose Leaf Tea

We love helping people discover the variety of tea. You might use loose leaf tea or teabags. There are always new flavours to try.

You can create your own tea blend. Combine different ingredients to make something unique. We are always working on new seasonal teas. We also try unusual flavour combinations. Some work straight away. Others take a few cups to perfect. That's all part of it.

From 2026 Finalist to Winner

Making the final of the 2026 Muddy Stilettos Awards was already something worth celebrating. Winning the Norfolk award was something else entirely.

As a small independent business, support from our customers makes everything we do possible. Every order, recommendation, social media share and conversation about Black Dog Teas helps more people discover what we do. The support we received during the Muddy Stilettos voting was amazing. You nominated us, got us into the final and then voted for us to win. We genuinely couldn't have done it without you.

Thank You, Norfolk

From everyone at Black Dog Teas, thank you.

Thank you to everyone who nominated and voted for us. Thanks to those who bought our tea or recommended us. We also appreciate those who stopped by for a chat.

We're incredibly proud to be an independent Norwich business and even prouder to now be able to say:

We'll try not to mention it too often. Now, we think this calls for a cup of tea.
