Overview
Behind the gold-foiled gift box sit 24 individually wrapped tea bags, all drawn from Dilmah's single-origin Ceylon range. Classic Ceylon blacks mix with flavoured blends (blackcurrant, caramel, earl grey, lychee, mango and strawberry, among others) and a handful of green teas, so the countdown never settles into one style.
Taste & variety
The 24 bags lean on Dilmah's Ceylon strengths: premium and Gold & Supreme black tea, English Breakfast, traditional oolong. Then comes a long run of flavoured blacks, blackcurrant, caramel, earl grey, ginger and honey, lychee, mango and strawberry among them, plus pure, jasmine and sencha greens. Flavoured bags outnumber pure single-origin cups. The Ceylon base keeps the quality level even.

Our verdict
A well-priced, ethically produced countdown from an established Sri Lankan tea house. Real variety across Ceylon black, flavoured and green teas, and not a novelty flavour in sight.
Buying advice: One of the least expensive calendars we track at around $19, straight from Dilmah's official shop. Seasonal stock is limited and sells through before Christmas, so buy early.
