Can you believe it? We are officially celebrating our 10th anniversary of the Bird & Blend Tea Advent Calendar. What started as a small spark of an idea has grown into our most essential product of the Christmas season! It’s a magical moment where we showcase the very best of Bird & Blend: our product innovation, brand magic, & the customer experience you know & love.
A Walk Down Memory Lane
2016: Our Advent journey began as a humble idea from one of our TEAm members. Back then, it was a simple off-the-shelf box, & we were the first EVER Tea Advent Calendar in the world!
The Evolution: In those first five years, we stood proud as the original & only Tea Advent. While the luxury market grew to include everything from gin to cheese, we focused on what we do best: tea. In 2018, we changed the game again by inventing the world’s first Matcha Advent Calendar.
Today: We now have 10 years of experience, learnings, & customer feedback under our belts. Every year, we refine our ideas, & our blend selection evolves to ensure each calendar is better than the last.
Introducing the 2026 Collection
This year, we’re inviting you to "Fill your Christmas cup your way!". Our 2026 campaign is a celebration of individuality, quirky flavors, & the weird & wonderful traditions that make your holiday unique.
Whether you keep your tree up all year or have a strictly non-traditional Christmas dinner, we want to celebrate that unique spin with you.
The 2026 collection features three stunning calendars:
Tea Advent Calendar: A magical mix of Tea Wall favorites, festive limited editions, & brand-new surprises.
Caffeine-Free Tea Advent Calendar: All the festive flavor without the buzz, perfect for those cozy late-night brews.
Matcha Advent Calendar: Our unique collection of flavored matcha tins, designed to bring a little whisking magic to your December.

Available as a bundle with your Tea Advent Calendar, this cube is packed with five brand-new & exclusive festive blends you won't find anywhere else, but be quick, we expect it to sell out fast!
