Reviews
Better hot
"I found this was better made with hot water than a cold water brew. When you first put the hot water in the pot you smell the rhubarb. By adding a tiny squirt of vanilla syrup then the custard comes out. However if like me you forget you made it then it was still tasty cold. Definitely buy again."
Delicious tea
"A lovely tea with delicious flavours - a perfect blend!"
Great quality tea!
"Both the rhubarb and the custard flavours come through and work wonderfully with the taste of the tea itself."
A little bit of pudding in a drink!
"This hits the spot when feeling the need for something sweet. Tastes just like the real thing"
One of my absolute favourites
"Love this tea. Such a well balanced flavour, not too sweet, a little tart with the rhubarb and creamy/vanilla notes with the custard flavour"
Scrumptious
"This is a delicious tea. The aroma, the taste, the memories, like a bag of boiled sweets in a cup without the stickiness, tongue cuts or bits of paper bag. If you love rhubarb and custard sweets I urge you to try this, you wont be disappointed 😋"
My Absolute Favourite!
"I cold brew this tea in almond milk overnight, the rhubarb flavour is amazing! I like to drink it in the evening…. an indulgent treat for the end of the day!"
Fantastic
"Really nice with lemonade and soda water my second time buying one of my favourite 😁"
Curbs your sugar craving
"This is lovely! I quit sugar and caffeine 75 days ago and every so often the cravings kick in. I added some frothy milk but will try it as a cold brew."
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
