Reviews

Yummy

"I’ve tried this steeped in boiling water and also as an oat latte and I must say, the milky version brings all the best flavours out for me. Creamy, tangy and an all round winner, reminiscent of those lovely boiled sweeties we enjoy!"

— C s. (5/5)

Delicious caffeine-free warmth

"This has a lovely flavour, I like drinking it in the afternoon when I need warming up without caffeine. I drink it without sugar or milk to reduce calories and enjoy the flavour. I brew for a while in a loose leaf steeper in the mug. This is a firm favourite of mine"

— Anne (5/5)

Nostalgia in a mug

"NOT one of those teas that sounds and smells great, but the flavour doesn’t live up. This tea is sweet, creamy and fruity, and pairs great with milk."

— Athena (5/5)

Good refreshing tea

"I have been drinking this tea for a couple of years because I received it as a gift and enjoyed it very much. It doesn’t taste so much of custard but there is a strong taste of rhubarb which I love. It’s definitely worth a try!"

— Frances C. (5/5)

Not for me

"The three stars are only because I didn't like the taste, which is a personal thing. The packaging, amount, and overall look of this was great. Just not "my cup of tea""

— Sarah P. (3/5)

My favourite rooibos!

"I adore this blend! Custard and rhubarb are a perfect match, balancing each other really well. Reminds me of eating rhubarb pie with custard in the summer. I drink this all year round"

— Louise C. (5/5)

— Catherine W. (5/5)

Smells amazing

— Nigel M. (5/5)

A staple

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
