United StatesOverview
ArtfulTea is a tea shop in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the calendar uses the same loose leaf teas sold in the shop and online. The 24 teas: Caramel Pu-erh, Valencia Verde, Sandia Sangria, Ginger Rose, Vanilla Rooibos, Santa Fe Sage, Winter Forest, English Breakfast, Pomegranate Mate, Atomic Gold, Chimayo Chai, Lemon Cream Rooibos, Peachy Keen, Earl Grey Lavender, Moroccan Mint, Apples to Oranges, Black Currant, Honeybush Hot Cider, Blueberry Pomegranate, Bancha, Solstice Spice, Rose Petal Raspberry, Linda's Lemon Ginger and Apricot Brandy.
Per the shop's FAQ, the calendar mixes caffeinated and caffeine-free blends, with herbal and rooibos blends naturally caffeine-free. Each tea is a hand-assembled paper filter with two teaspoons of loose leaf for one mug of about 12 oz. The shop starts shipping in early November, gift-wraps in green tissue paper with a handwritten note and a free sample, and ships each order to one address only.
Taste & variety
Twenty-four different teas with no repeats. The lineup mixes the familiar and the local: English Breakfast, Earl Grey Lavender, Black Currant and Apricot Brandy appear next to Caramel Pu-erh, Bancha, Pomegranate Mate and Moroccan Mint.
Sandia Sangria, Santa Fe Sage and Chimayo Chai carry the local names, with Valencia Verde, Winter Forest and Solstice Spice beside them. The caffeine-free end includes Ginger Rose, Atomic Gold, Vanilla Rooibos and Lemon Cream Rooibos.
The shop says herbal and rooibos blends are naturally caffeine-free and that everything else contains some caffeine, so a mate or a pu-erh on a late evening will keep someone up.
Packaging & gift appeal
Everything comes in one box, so this is not a calendar with 24 doors but a box of 24 filters, which is a more modest object and a more practical one. Each filter holds about two teaspoons and makes one mug of around 12 oz.
The shop gift-wraps orders in green tissue with a handwritten thank-you note and a free sample, a small personal gesture from a shop rather than a factory.
Each order goes to one address only, so gifts for several people mean several orders.
What is in the box
24 hand-assembled paper filters, each with two teaspoons of loose leaf tea for one 12 oz mug, in one gift box. The shop ships from early November and recommends ordering by 17 November for delivery by 1 December.

Our verdict
A tea shop's own shelf, packed by hand one mug at a time, with a strong New Mexico accent. It lacks the theatre of a door-by-door calendar but makes up for it in convenience and character. A personal gift, best ordered before mid-November.
What we like
- 24 different teas, no repeats
- Pre-filled paper filters, no infuser needed
- Herbal and rooibos blends without caffeine for the evening
- Regional blends such as Chimayo Chai and Santa Fe Sage
A few things to know
- One box of filters rather than 24 separate doors
- Sold out on the shop page when checked
- Ships from the US, with extra cost for international orders

What buyers say
Reviewers describe a calendar they come back to year after year, with high-quality teas in festive packaging and individual bags with brewing directions. One buyer gave it to their mother, who liked the mix of tea types. The reviews span several editions of the calendar, so they speak to the line in general more than to this year's exact contents.
I look forward to receiving this calendar every year. High quality, delicious teas in a darling package.
The packaging is lovely and the individual bags and directions make brewing a snap.
there are a great mix of different tea types to choose from
