Overview
Golden Wattle Tea's Matcha Advent Calendar is a 12-day countdown (from 14 December) built entirely around flavoured matcha rather than a general tea lineup. Each of the 12 tins holds 10g of a different blend, from straightforward organic and rose matcha through to fruitier acai and mango versions and wellness-leaning detox, metabolism, and immunity blends.
Who it is for
Matcha drinkers who want variety beyond plain ceremonial grade, and buyers who prefer a shorter, lower-cost countdown over a full 24-day commitment.
Taste & variety
The 12 tins move through straightforward organic matcha into flavoured versions: rose, sakura, vanilla, strawberry, cacao, acai, and mango, plus wellness-leaning detox, chai, metabolism, and immunity blends. Flavoured matcha dominates over pure ceremonial grade, so this suits drinkers who like variety over purists chasing a single high-grade cup.
Packaging & gift appeal
Each of the 12 days reveals a small sustainable metal tin holding 10g of matcha, presented in a Christmas-tree-patterned box. The tins are reusable after the countdown ends, and the whole set is made in Australia.
What is in the box?
12 individual sustainable metal tins (10g each, 120g total), covering organic, rose, sakura, vanilla, strawberry, cacao, acai, mango, detox, chai, metabolism, and immunity matcha.
Key features
- 12 signature matcha blends, one per tin
- Flavours span rose, sakura, cacao, and chai matcha

Brewing tips
Sift matcha into warm, not boiling, water and whisk in a W motion until frothy. Flavoured blends generally tolerate slightly hotter water than pure ceremonial grade, but start cooler and adjust to taste.

- +Reusable metal tins
- +Genuinely varied flavoured matcha blends

Our verdict

Buying advice: At around $31, this is one of the cheaper matcha-specific calendars, but remember it only covers 12 days from 14 December, not the full month. Buy direct from Golden Wattle Tea, since seasonal stock is limited.
