Portrait of Frederik Aldersted

Frederik lives in Hellerup, just north of Copenhagen, and reviews the black tea, loose leaf and luxury calendars on The Tea Countdown. He covers the heritage houses of London and Paris alongside the newer names.

He keeps the comparison table, and he is the one who asks whether a famous name delivers the sense of occasion it promises. A calendar with a grand label has to feel special on the first morning and on the twenty-fourth.

How Frederik reviews a calendar

  • Compares tea selections and formats described by brands and retailers.
  • Compares loose leaf calendars with tea bag editions where both exist.
  • Reviews published packaging details and product photographs.
  • Uses listed prices and delivery information from US, UK and EU retailers.
