Smells and tastes like the real thing

"This is currently my favourite Bird and Blend tea. This and Mojitea. It contains rhubarb and vanilla pieces so it’s no surprise that it tastes authentic. I love drinking this tea in the afternoon and evening. Recommend if you like rhubarb and custard!"

— Zoe (4/5)

Grown up sweets

"I was so dubious about this that I put off buying it for ages, and now I regret being hesitant! The tangy rhubarb is so good, and literally tastes like crumble filling. It’s a perfect afternoon/evening cuppa, when you don’t want to caffeine but still want a delicious pick me up. Have just bought more!"

— Fi (5/5)

rhubarb and custard tea

"bought this as a gift, recipient is very happy with it."

— Gayle M. (5/5)

All time fave

"Of all the Bird and Blend teas I've tried, this is easily my favourite, I'd give it an extra star if I could. I like the slightly sharp and sour flavour of rhubarb with smooth and sweet vanilla. This is also a great caffeine free choice for an evening brew. I pair this with vanilla soya milk."

— Neela (5/5)

Q&A

Calorie content?: Hello Mandy - thank you for your question. The calorie content of all of our teas after the brewing process is lower than needs to be declared on a food label, even the blends with whole fruit pieces and candy hearts. None of our blends have any more than 1g sugar excluding our Sticky Chai as this contains honey. I hope this helps. Andi @ B&B

Is it safe to drink this tea while pregnant?: Hi! We aren't medical professionals, so we can't tell you for sure if a tea is safe to consume whilst pregnant; you are best chatting to your midwife or GP for anything related to this. Lots of people do find our caffeine free blends to be a lovely option while they're pregnant and they can be found here: https://www.birdandblendtea.com/collections/caffeine-free-decaf-tea. Each product page will have the individual ingredients listing for that particular tea, if you'd like to double check that everything would be suitable for you. Thanks! Katie @ B&B
Hi, is this tea vegan? Thanks :): Hello Charlotte, all our blends are Vegan except for our Sticky Chai which contains honey. Andi @ B&B
Does this tea contain any sugar or artificial sweeteners?: Hi Emily, Thank you so much for your question! This blend has no added sugar, we only have a few blends that actually have sugars intentionally added. When we intentionally add sugar it will only be for the purpose of enhancing a flavour that may be too tart if left unsweetened. You can check out those blends on our Allergens page (scroll down a little to the 'Containing Sugar' section) With regards to the exact amount of sugar in any particular blend, this is not information that we have to hand as we do not test currently test our blends for this. Any blends that have naturally occurring sugars will only have trace amounts though. We certainly don't claim to be medical professionals and we would always recommend seeking advice from your doctor if you have any concerns. I do hope that this information has been helpful but please do let us know if you have any other questions! Happy Sipping! Marlie @ B&B
