Matcha Advent Calendar
£55.00
The Matcha Advent Calendar 2026 from Bird & Blend Tea Co. hands you 24 unique matcha flavours, two servings of each, so 48 cups in all. Expect Hazelnut Praline, Eggnog, Snow Angel and a Twixmas blend, with 11 limited editions you won’t find the rest of the year. New for 2026: a hojicha blend joins the line-up for the first time. Every blend is full size on ceremonial-grade matcha, the contents are announced as worth £80, and it’s 100% vegan. A proper festive countdown for tea lovers who’d rather skip the chocolate sugar rush.
Matcha Advent Calendar 2026: 24 flavours, 48 cups and a hojicha first
The Matcha Advent Calendar 2026 from Bird & Blend Tea Co. runs on one idea: 24 unique matcha flavours behind 24 doors, two servings of each, which comes to 48 cups across December. Nothing repeats. Every door is a different blend, from Hazelnut Praline and Cinnamon Bun to Banana, Lemon and a proper Mince Pie matcha for the season.
Two things set this year apart. Eleven of the 24 are limited editions, blends Bird & Blend only runs at Christmas, and for the first time the calendar slips in a hojicha, the roasted green tea, as the Jam Jar Hojicha. The other 23 stay matcha, built on a ceremonial-grade base, and the whole thing is 100% vegan and plastic-free.
What’s inside the Bird & Blend matcha advent calendar
You get 24 individual flavours and nothing else: no minis, no sachets padding out the count, no accessories. Each flavour comes as two servings, so a blend you love gets a second run before it’s gone. The split is 23 matcha blends and one hojicha, the hojicha being the 2026 newcomer.
Of the 24, 11 are Christmas-only limited editions: Hazelnut Praline, Mince Pie, Eggnog, Snow Angel, Mint Choc Chip, Toasted Marshmallow, Pistachio Gelato, a Moomins Berry Basket blend, Maple Pecan Pancakes, Twixmas and the Jam Jar Hojicha. The other 13 come from the year-round range, including the plain Pure Grade Matcha for anyone who wants the base on its own. Every blend is full size, the same as you’d buy from the shop.
Bird & Blend puts the contents at worth £80. That’s the brand’s own figure, not one we’ve priced blend by blend, so take it as announced. The more telling number is the everyday one: at the launch price, those 48 cups work out at roughly £1.15 each, close to what a decent flavoured matcha costs you anyway.
The full flavour-by-flavour list sits in the SPOILER tab.
Matcha, not chocolate: how it compares
Against the segment, this calendar lands in the middle of the UK tea calendars we track, between Palais des Thés around £31 and Whittard near £60, and above Yawn Brew at £39.99. What you pay the extra for is the format: these are full-size servings of ceremonial-grade matcha, not teabags or loose-leaf scoops.
The real comparison most people make is with a chocolate calendar, and that’s where this one earns its place. No sugar spike every morning, a different flavour each day, and a run of blends from Snow Angel to Twixmas that you can’t buy outside the festive range. It’s been featured across Grazia, Stylist, The Independent, Good Housekeeping and BBC Good Food, which tells you the matcha-calendar idea has stopped being niche.
My verdict on the 2026 matcha calendar
What wins me over is the honesty of the format. Twenty-four blends, two servings each, all full size, and the count isn’t quietly bulked out with filler. The limited editions are the hook: ‘the eleven Christmas blends are the whole reason to pick this over the standard range’, and the Jam Jar Hojicha is a genuine point of difference this year, not a reshuffle of last season’s flavours.
Where it falls down is narrow by design. If you don’t like matcha, there’s nothing here for you, because it’s matcha or hojicha start to finish, no black tea, no herbal, no other category. And two servings per flavour is tight: find a blend you adore and it’s a one-cup repeat, then it’s gone for the year.
- Skip it if you want variety across tea types, or if matcha just isn’t your thing.
- Buy it if you’re a matcha drinker after a daily treat without the chocolate sugar, and you want the festive blends you can’t get the rest of the year.
Bird & Blend, the hand-blended tea people
Bird & Blend Tea Co. built its name on blending tea by hand instead of bagging up the same old leaves, and flavoured matcha has become one of its signatures. That’s the thread straight into this calendar.
The range it draws on is the one the shop sells, which is why the whole calendar is full size: the Pure Grade Matcha and the fruitier blends like Blueberry & Acai or Peaches & Cream are everyday products, not miniatures made for a box. You can see the full range at Bird & Blend Tea Co..
