Bird and Blend Tea Advent Calendar 2026: 24 blends, 48 festive cups across December
The Bird and Blend Tea advent calendar 2026 hides 24 hand-blended teas behind its 24 doors, with two tea bags a day that add up to 48 cups over the month. This year the brand brings back the one that started it all: it is celebrating 10 years since it created its very first tea calendar, and this is the original countdown returned.
Open a door each morning and you get enough for two cups, so you can share one or keep the second for later. There is also a free gift to claim inside, and every calendar sold has one tree planted for it. For anyone who wants to wind down after dinner, a separate caffeine-free tea advent calendar swaps the black teas for rooibos, herbal and fruit infusions.
What is inside the Bird & Blend Tea advent calendar
The regular 2026 calendar leans hard on black tea, with the rest spread thinly across the other styles. The breakdown of the 24 blends:
- 12 black teas, half the calendar
- 5 rooibos
- 2 herbal infusions and 2 green teas
- 1 fruit infusion, 1 yerba maté and 1 oolong
Ten of the 24 are limited editions made for the festive run, from Mince Pie and Mulled Cider to a Moominhouse Cosy Comforts blend, so repeats are rare and you rarely get the same cup twice. The caffeine-free version is built differently: 13 rooibos, 6 herbal infusions and 5 fruit infusions, with no black or green tea at all.
The brand does not publish a pound value for the box, so there is none quoted here. What you are paying for is 48 cups of hand-blended tea across the month, the kind of loose-leaf style blends that cost more bought on their own. At £39.50 for the box, that works out at roughly 82p a cup.

✳️ This year’s edition vs last year
The headline numbers have not moved: 24 teas, 48 cups, still £39.50. The mix has. This edition carries more black tea (12 against 9) and more rooibos (5 against 4), while the fruit infusions drop from 3 to 1 and the herbal ones from 3 to 2. The green teas stay at 2.
The one real absence is Pu’erh, in last year’s box and gone from this one. The upshot is a slightly more classic, black-tea-forward line-up than the 2025 edition, with the lighter fruit side pared back. If fruit infusions were the reason you bought it last December, that is the change to know about.
✳️ My view on the 2026 edition
What wins me over first is the two-bags-a-day format: 48 cups from 24 doors is genuinely generous, and it means a calendar you share rather than ration. The free gift and the tree planted per calendar are small things, but they are the kind of detail that makes this feel less like a cash-in than most beauty boxes.
Where I’d pause is the black-tea weighting. Twelve of the 24 are black, and if you mostly drink green or fruit infusions, half the calendar is not for you, which is exactly where the caffeine-free version earns its place. As Bird & Blend puts it, this is ‘the original tea countdown experience’, and the 10-year anniversary framing is fair rather than hype.
- Not one for you if you want mostly fruit or green tea, or if a chocolate calendar is what the household actually asks for
- Worth it for tea drinkers who like variety, dessert-style blends and a genuine reason to put the kettle on each morning

Bird & Blend Tea Co., the brand the advent calendar put on the map
Bird & Blend Tea Co. is a British tea company that built its name on inventive, dessert-inspired blends rather than the usual breakfast and Earl Grey line-up. It blends by hand, and this advent calendar is its signature festive release, the product that got it noticed in the first place, which is why the 10-year anniversary matters: the original calendar is where the brand’s reputation started.
That reputation now comes with press behind it, from The Independent, Good Housekeeping and BBC Good Food. The 2026 box keeps the values that go with the brand: 100% plastic-free, vegan friendly, and one tree planted for every calendar sold.
