As a business, we believe in People & Planet, not just Profit. So each year we do something different for Black Friday, to give something back instead of getting caught up in the frenzy of flash sales, & 2025 is no different.
Over Black Friday weekend, we’ll be donating 50% of the proceeds from online sales of our store blends directly to store chariTEAs. So when you stock up on Worthings Original, you’re also helping Superstar Arts deliver creative projects for adults with learning disabilities; a cup of Strawberry Fields is supporting Liverpool’s youth development charity, Positive Futures; & half the proceeds from Champagne Supernova are going directly to Manchester’s Women Asylum Seekers Together project to improve the rights of women seeking asylum in the UK.
We’re also thrilled to be partnering with Girlguiding Anglia as our ChariTEA of the Quarter. They’re all about creating a happier, healthier world for the next generation & helping girls reach their full potential.
To celebrate, Girlguiding Anglia have brewed up something special: a brand-new wellbeing challenge pack! It’s a fun-filled adventure that encourages members to explore physical, emotional, financial & environmental well-being. From activities like hosting a tea party with friends & family, to other creative challenges, it’s all designed to sprinkle a little positivity into everyday life. Complete the challenge & members earn a shiny Bird & Blend wellbeing badge.
And here’s the best bit, you can join in too! We’ve created a wellbeing challenge pack just for our Teabirds to enjoy at home this Christmas. With a one-off donation to Girlguiding Anglia, you’ll get your own pack (plus the badge!) so you can join the fun & keep your spirits high this festive season.

Here’s our little Black Friday letter to you for this year, plus a special pick-me-up for all you festive shoppers!
Festive energy? We're whisking it up.
Christmas season is well & truly upon us. Bustling high streets. Twinkling lights. Window after window of festive treats. Over the years, we’ve carved out our own little tradition over Black Friday weekend. Rather than slash prices, we spread happiness.
And we couldn’t do it without you. Time & again, our communiTEA shows up for independent businesses like ours, reminding us how lucky we are to share these moments with you. Your support keeps our kettle boiling, our shelves stocked, & our hearts full. So, on the busiest shopping weekend of the year, we’re here to keep spirits high & mugs topped up with a free matcha latte from our menu from 10.30 - midday. Pop in to any of our stores on 28th November, to warm up & recharge while our TEAm serves the festive energy.
You’ll spot us spreading Christmas cheer from Exeter to Glasgow. Maybe it’s Rob in Lincoln telling his cracker worthy jokes; or Kenzie in Portobello dressing her pup up again; or Soph in the warehouse popping her doodles into orders; or Eva in Nottingham getting to know your Grandma inside out to find her the perfect blend.
Because that’s the best part of Christmas, the little moments we make together. Thanks to you, we get to keep making them. Let’s up the festivi-TEA!
Love & Tea,
TEAm B&B x
