Ooredoo Brews Up Culture with ‘Tea with Ooredoo’ 2026 Calendar

Ooredoo Maldives has unveiled its 2026 calendar under the theme “Tea with Ooredoo,” celebrating the rich tradition of tea drinking in Maldivian culture through a creative and sensory experience that blends design, flavor and technology.

The calendar was officially launched at a special ceremony attended by company officials and guests, where Ooredoo Managing Director and CEO Khalid Al-Hamadi highlighted the company’s long-standing tradition of aligning its annual calendars with Maldivian customs and cultural practices. He noted that tea, as a daily ritual and a symbol of hospitality in Maldivian households, was chosen as this year’s central theme to honor its cultural significance.

“This year’s calendar is dedicated to tea, which is an important part of Maldivian life. Each month represents a unique tea flavor, reflecting the diversity and warmth of our culture,” Al-Hamadi said at the event.

True to its reputation for innovation, Ooredoo’s 2026 calendar offers more than just dates. Each month features a designated fruit, herb or tea ingredient for infusion, with both English and Dhivehi names provided, along with information about the infused teas. The physical calendar also comes packaged in a specially designed wooden box containing a selection of tea flavors, offering users a hands-on, immersive experience.

Continuing its tradition of delivering a fresh concept each year, Ooredoo has released the calendar in three formats: desk, wall and digital. While the desk and wall calendars showcase themed artwork, the digital calendar introduces a modern twist, featuring videos created with the assistance of artificial intelligence.

With the “Tea with Ooredoo” theme, the company has once again blended Maldivian heritage with creativity and innovation, turning its annual calendar into a cultural showcase that goes beyond timekeeping to celebrate everyday traditions.
