Tea Advent Calendars are getting hotter and hotter by the year! Tea lovers don’t stay behind because regardless of celebrating Christmas or not (watch out for a Hannukkah option!), a surprise tea-a-day for 24 days is not something we would ever reject, right?

I have gathered all of my favorite Tea Advent Calendars for this holiday season, including loose leaf, tea bags, herbal only, and Matcha! Hard to pick, I know…

(Please note this post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you if you click through and make a purchase. I only recommend products I’ve tried and liked or that have great reviews. Thanks for supporting my blog!)

What Are Advent Calendars?

They are of German origin and their tradition started in the early nineteenth century. German Protestants began to mark the days of Advent by burning a candle or marking walls every day.


In the late 1950s, chocolate-filled calendars began to appear and spread around the world. Nowadays, we see hundreds of different advent calendar types, from skincare to gourmet food, toys, socks, and of course tea.

The Best Tea Advent Calendars of 2022

Check out my favorites for this 2022 holiday season.

 

1. Adagio Teas

They have a wide variety of great blends, straight teas, and also single estate premium teas through their sister site Masters Teas (which I l-o-v-e). They’ve done an amazing job in building a tea community, they have great content in their blog and annex sites like teamuse and teachef. One of my favorite features of Adagio is that you can create your own blends!

This calendar offers 2 choices, loose leaf teas or tea bags (they have different teas in each!). The loose-leaf calendar contains festive blends and some classic Adagio blends of black, white, green, and herbal teas. Each sachet includes enough for a single cup.

The teabag calendar has classic Adagio blends and several ‘straight’ unblended teas including black, white, green, oolong, and herbal tea.

You can click the ‘Spoiler Alert’ option and view which teas are included in each type.

If you don’t want to commit to 24 days, then there is a 12-day countdown for Christmas. This set includes reusable tins that create a fun scene and can hang as ornaments until ready to be brewed (how fun?!). Each tin contains one single-serving pouch of loose-leaf tea and has an amazing price/value.

2. Sips By

Sips By is a tea subscription service that offers customized boxes based on personal preferences and also has an online tea shop. The great thing about their service is that it allows a finer customization level than most companies offer.

This calendar is on the pricey side, but it is reusable! It is made out of fabric and they offer it yearly, so all you’ll need to do next year is order the refills (eco-friendly option). You can also choose from black and white fabric, and it folds into a tea travel clutch.

Each day includes a pack that is good to make about 3-4 cups and a printed insert with steeping tips and exclusive discounts to each tea brand that’s included.

+ BONUS

They also have a mini 8 Nights of Hanukkah calendar. I know that for those who celebrate this is an amazing option (and teas are kosher!). Each Hanukkah night envelope has enough tea to make 1 cup.

This year’s tea Advent Calendar by David’s is very festive, it has returning faves from past seasons, all-time best sellers, and new very merry blends. The box is beautiful and has tiny loose leaf tins under it every day. Each day will have enough loose leaves to make 2 cups. Some of the flavors included in this calendar are Hot chocolate, Salted Caramel Oolong, Christmas Morning Blend, and many more.

4. Teeccino

This company offers caffeine-free coffee alternatives (aka. herbal tea!). Most blends are chicory, carob, and/or dandelion based plus fruits or nuts. Their last product line includes adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms, which promote well-being. All great options for afternoon and evening when caffeine is not a good option for everyone.

For those interested in trying before buying, they offer several sampler options too (with free shipping!).

This tea advent calendar contains 24 tea bags with some of the most popular Teeccino blends. Each day contains a tea bag with 6g of tea and hidden messages behind each tea bag.

5. Vahdam

I like that this company has a great mission, they help the tea garden’s workers by giving back in the form of education for their children. They have great quality teas, innovative products, and luxurious packaging.

Check out their new 2022 Tea Advent Calendar! It’s on the pricier side, but it is definitely luxurious. This company focuses on quality Indian teas and spices. Each day contains a small tin of loose-leaf tea with enough to make 3-4 cups. You will find some of their most popular blends and straight teas too.

They also launched a tea bag calendar option (most affordable, yet beautiful). It has 5 tea bags in every day and includes several Turmeric teas, blends and some straight teas.

This French tea company was founded in 1986 and currently has over 50+ stores in Europe and Asia, with its flagship store in Le Marais, in Paris. His founder is François-Xavier Delmas, author of The Tea Drinker’s Handbook and Tea Sommelier: A Step-by-Step Guide + others.

7. T2 Tea

This Australian tea brand has many different blends and straight teas, but I love its teaware the most. T2 has the most gorgeous range of teaware. 


(photo credit: t2tea.com)

For 2022, they are offering a loose-leaf tea option and a tea bag calendar too. Each tea or tisane is wrapped in individual sachets that make 1 cup of tea. Some of the teas included in this tea Advent calendar are Christmas breakfast, Sleep Tight, Sticky Date Delight, and many more.

+ BONUS – For the DIYers!

If you’re crafty and love to make your own gifts, here is an option to make your own 2022 Tea Advent Calendar. Get a generic Wall hanging countdown to Christmas Calendar that will fit tea bags (or small loose-leaf pouches), then buy a tea sampler like the one from Vahdam, Taylors of Harrogate, Harney & Sons, etc., and fill it. Ta-dah!!    

 

Despite these advent tea calendars being dedicated to Christmas countdown, I recommend them as an amazing alternative to try different teas from different companies and explore. Let me know which one you got!!! (I’ll tell you if you tell me ☺️) Happy sipping!

🙌🏼 A short break. I stopped within the rush 🙌🏼 A short break. 
I stopped within the rush of my day and I took some time to sip and appreciate my tea 🧘🏻‍♀️ 🙏🏼.

💫I chose @herbsandkettles Assam Golden Needle for this moment (sometimes the weather drives me to a certain tea, and today’s Florida winter ☀️ called for a not too strong Black Tea)
➡️ This tea is made from buds only which have a beautiful caramel color and aroma. I brewed it at 195 F for 4 minutes ⏰.
This tea has a full body and mouthfeel yet it’s very smooth and has almost no astringency. You can taste some fruity and cacao notes, some woodiness and a hint of spices. It has a long lasting aftertaste too.

✨The range of variety within a tea type is mesmerizing. Once you get deep into tea you never want to stop trying new varieties! Anyone with me?🙋🏻‍♀️
🙋🏻‍♀️ I often get asked what's the bes 🙋🏻‍♀️ I often get asked what's the best way to sweeten tea, and I guess the right answer is whatever works for each person! ⁣
⁣
Personally, I only add a little Monkfruit when I drink lattes, but I drink unsweetened, unflavored tea most of the time.⁣
⁣
For a special treat 🎁 , I sometimes make naturally flavored simple syrup. I was #gifted this travel electric kettle with temperature control by @buydeem_global and I love that you can use it to infuse too because of the strainer on its lid. ⁣
It has 3 temperature settings and 3 timer options to hold the temp.⁣
⁣
🌹 I made a honey rose simple syrup by boiling water, then steeping the rose petals for 7-10 minutes in the kettle, and combining the steeped rose tea and honey (1 part each). I immediately used it to sweeten my Earl Grey Latte (aka 🇬🇧 London Fog!).⁣
⁣
The kettle is perfect for travel and moving it around, and the 60•C temp is perfect for making Japanese Green Tea (and I love that it holds the temperature so I can use it instead of my thermal bottle). The only downside is that it takes a bit longer to boil water, but the practicality of it is unbeatable!

If you ever do so, what’s your favorite way to sweeten your tea?
✨Advent Calendar season is almost here! (You sti ✨Advent Calendar season is almost here! (You still have time to get yours if you haven’t for this year).⁣
⁣
Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, it is a great opportunity to try different teas  and explore from several companies who offer them (if you not into the countdown, wait for after season sales!).⁣
⁣
💓 I have my favorites for this year ➡️ (link in bio!). ⁣
⁣
Did you get one? If so, which one did you get or are excited to try?
⚡️*𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐓*⚡️ (pay $1 for shipping)⁣
⁣
I don’t think I can live without Matcha 🍵(can you?).⁣
⁣
🤔 If someone came to me and asked if I would like to try GREAT quality Matcha for FREE, heck yes I would! ⁣
⁣
For real, if you want to try 3 different and excellent types of Matcha from @naokimatcha for FREE (just pay $0.99 for shipping) go to the link in my bio (𝘯𝘢𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘢.𝘤𝘰𝘮/𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘦/𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘢-𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘳-𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘬) and order with the code 𝐍𝐀𝐎𝐊𝐗𝐓𝐂𝐂. ⁣
You’ll get 3 sachets of different blends: Superior Ceremonial Blend, Fragrant Yame Blend, and Chiran Harvest (my favorite! So smooth, with a buttery texture, and sweet, nutty, umami flavor)⁣
⁣
Great for drinking on their own, in the morning or for that post-lunch slump (my energy pill 💊 !) or for making a hot or iced latte. ⁣
💡Share with your friends so they can try it too!⁣
⁣
I personally love, drink and recommend @naokimatcha a lot and love collaborating with them because they have really good Matcha 💚 if it’s good, I gotta spread the word!⁣
⁣
Lmk if you’ve tried any of these blends
A new tea book is out and it’s by my friend Nico A new tea book is out and it’s by my friend Nicole from @teaformeplease !! 🎊🎉⁣
⁣
I’m super happy to be one of the first to get this book (you can get yours on Amazon - release day May 17th).⁣
⁣
✔️ It’s full of super fun tea based drink recipes and some baked goods too. You can find iced, hot, lattes, cocktails & mocktails and boba too. It’s a great book for tea lovers who would like to explore more ways to enjoy it and learn how versatile tea is. ⁣
⁣
If you’re building a tea book library 📚 , this one is a must, and a great book to gift to any tea lover 💜.⁣
⁣
🔥 Congratulations again Nicole on this amazing achievement!
Over a month into Spring 🌸 and I can see my te Over a month into Spring 🌸  and I can see my tea preferences starting to change. I’ve been drinking fresher feeling and more cooling teas, such as green, lightly oxidized Oolong, etc. (Here I’m enjoying a lovely Dragonwell green tea).⁣
⁣
Now that I live in FL, so many people ask how can I drink tea with the heat, but when inside I’m always always drinking tea, same as before! Still, cooling teas can be great to regulate body temperature and even reduce the perceived heat 🥵.⁣
⁣
💝 Love serving tea to friends who come by my place for any reason. This lovely kettle + cups set is from @kitchen_kite and I LOVE it. It has a big stainless steel infuser to steep the tea and 4 delicate double-walled glass small cups to serve tea. So elegant! (It is also stovetop safe and dishwasher safe) #gifted ⁣
⁣
What have you been drinking this Spring?
👉🏻Here’s a super interesting one:⁣ Sweet 👉🏻Here’s a super interesting one:⁣
Sweet potato plant leaves tea 😮 . It’s a herbal tea made from sweet potato plants in the Laoshan district in China, and processed similarly to black tea.⁣
It’s the first time I tried it and I was blown away by it. I love trying rare teas and herbal infusions and this was a special one! ⁣
⁣
🔎It is roasted 5, yes FIVE times to stop oxidation, so it’s a very time consuming tea to produce. Farmers in the area are shifting from harvesting crops to making tea because it’s more profitable as demand for this type of tea is increasing 🥔.⁣
⁣
☕️ I brewed it at 200•F and it had a strong sweet potato and savory aroma. I would have expected more sweetness to it but I was surprised with its brightness and how soupy/brothy it tastes. I also found some cooked spinach notes. Overall a fantastic experience ⭐️. ⁣
⁣
I got this tea from @verdanttea (#gifted) which I sincerely can’t recommend enough.⁣
💚They are a truly transparent company, which I know many people appreciate tremendously, and pick their partners (farming families) carefully according to their values (sustainability, quality & craftsmanship, etc). They honor them by highlighting their teas and stories and focus on them and their teas rather than their own brand.⁣ They carry AMAZING tea & teaware!
⁣
Have you ever tried this tea❓
Happy last Matcha Monday 🍵 of the year! Wishing Happy last Matcha Monday 🍵 of the year! Wishing you all a wonderful 2022 filled with joy and health 🙌🏼.⁣
⁣
Matcha is one of my favorite things to help boost my energy⚡️. Besides loving its flavor, color and preparation process and ceremony, the calm alertness and energy that it provides is so appreciated! ⁣
⁣
I love a Matcha latte in the morning and a traditional Matcha cup/bowl after lunch to get over that slump😊.⁣
⁣
Do you take Matcha to boost your energy or just because you like it? 💚
👋Happy Monday!⁣ I wanted to share about one o 👋Happy Monday!⁣
I wanted to share about one of the most luxurious tea gifts I’ve ever received. If you’re looking to really 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 someone and want to splurge, then I absolutely recommend this @samovartea gift box (You, Me and a Cup of Tea).⁣
 ⁣
It comes with a 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 well curated variety of 5 loose leaf teas, including a herbal blend that works amazing as a cold brew and a chocolate Pu-erh that makes a killer latte!⁣
⁣
It also comes with one of my favorite tea brewing accessories, the brewing teapot, a tea scoop and a lovely tea guide with brewing directions.⁣
⁣
Pictured is one of my favorite teas of the box, California Persian: a black tea blend with cardamom, rose blossoms, jasmine and orange zest. It is a beautiful, elegant and well balanced blend that works perfectly well for an afternoon tea setting. It has strong rose 🌹 and some citric notes (I like brewing it at 195 F for 3 minutes).⁣
⁣
Again, I was wowed by the luxurious tea experience of this box #gifted. Everything is so well put together and the packaging is designed with an amazing eye for aesthetics and attention to detail.⁣
⁣
Would you like this as a gift? (Hint: I promise you would! 😜)
🤔 How many of you doubt about buying certain te 🤔 How many of you doubt about buying certain teas online because you’re not sure you’ll like them?⁣
Or how about that guilty feeling of ‘I REALLY (this time really!) shouldn’t buy anymore tea? (Would getting sample sizes make you feel better? 😜)⁣
⁣
💡 I put together a list of companies that offer very reasonably priced (and some even FREE 💸 ) tea samples for you to try before you commit to buying larger quantities (𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐈𝐍 𝐁𝐈𝐎).⁣
⁣
This is also great for people who want to get deeper into tea and want to try many different types without having to invest too much.⁣
⁣
✨ I wish I had a resource like this one back in the day when I was starting with my tea romance. Now you have it, enjoy!
Does this Monday feel super slow or is it me? 🙌 Does this Monday feel super slow or is it me?
🙌🏼 I’m recharging my energy this morning with a delicious latte from @favatea ‘s holiday sampler (#gifted). This tea is called Frosty’s Brew and it is a black te with white chocolate and orange… very indulgent! I feel the holiday season calls for exploring blends that I wouldn’t try often and of course, making them into lattes!
This sampler box had several teas that make great lattes, even some Rooibos ones that my kids enjoyed! (After my 6-yo son tried a tea latte he would’t go back to regular tea! 😂)
💡 Remember: for lattes use at least double the amount of tea that you would usually use to make a regular cup. We’re looking to make a concentrate. Always add more leaves, not more time!
✨Matcha tasting time 🍵 This was a fun one! @ ✨Matcha tasting time 🍵 This was a fun one!

@naokimatcha launched a very limited tasting set of 3 Matcha where only 1 will be added to their line. The blends are named after their region of origin: Uji, Wazuka and Nishio. 

It was really hard to pick a favorite because all 3 were delicious, fresh and good quality Matcha (#gifted). But overall my favorite was Uji Harmony: It was delightfully sweet, smooth but thick and creamy with little grassiness and a perfect umami balance. Its color is a bright, vibrant green that only reflect freshness and quality.
The two other blends were excellent as well, I found the Wazuka blend great for beginners because it was less umami, smooth and ‘cleaner’.

Have you tried any of these? (Get their Matcha tasting set with 20% off on their website)
