    Tea Mixologist Top Tip

    Amazing hot - especially if you use frothy milk and a raspberry drizzle on top! Or try me cold brewed in your favourite milk.

    Reviews

    Great brewed hot!

    "I looove the smell of this tea, and the rhubarb and custard flavours really come through when it's brewed hot - it's really delicious! I'm not as in love with it in cold brew form - the rooibos flavour is still really strong, but I don't really taste much of the custardy flavours."

    Phoebe (4/5)

    Very good and great taste

    "Got this for my mum for her birthday as she loves rhubarb and custard sweets. She loved them as they tasted just like the sweet treat from when she was younger and gave her the greatest feeling of nostalgia!"

    Harrison (5/5)

    Any fan of the boiled sweets will adore this!

    "Resemblance in flavours to the traditional rhubarb & custard boiled sweets is striking. If you’re a fan of the sweets (like me) you will adore this! Very refreshing cold-brewed in sparkling mineral water, perfect for keeping hydration up in this crazy hot weather, especially for someone like me who struggled with plain, tasteless water!"

    Fran H. (5/5)

    Absolutely delicious!

    "I went into the Lincoln store today and the guy in there was so friendly and helpful. I tried the cold brew rhubarb and custard that was made up with lemonade and it was absolutely delicious. I instantly bought a pouch, along with the bubblegum flavour!"

    Natalie (5/5)

    My Favourite!

    "This is probably my favourite rooibos blend from Bird & Blend. The custard flavour in particular is so authentic to real vanilla custard. Often rooibos is highly spiced and is therefore best for autumn/winter, but this one is great all year round."

    Kate (5/5)

    Top 10 material!!!

    "I love this tea! It works well whether it be hot, cold or something in between. If you're a fan of rhubarb then don't hesitate to buy this, you won't be disappointed by its rhubarby goodness!!!"

    Anthony J. (5/5)

    clare h. (5/5)

    "I love this tea made with Lemonade as a cold brew it reminds me of the rhubarb and custard sweets I used to like as a child but without all the sugar."

    Francine I. (5/5)

    "Fabulous. Reminds me of the sweets of the same name but with the sweetness dialed down. Delicious"

    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
