Golden Wattle Matcha Advent Calendar Review

A twelve-day Australian matcha countdown starting on 14 December, with a different blend in each of twelve metal tins.

MATCHA Australia $38

8.5/10 Excellent

Overview

The countdown begins on 14 December and runs twelve days to Christmas Day, with one tin to open each morning. Each holds 10 g of a different matcha, 120 g in all, and the line-up is Organic, Rose, Sakura, Vanilla, Strawberry, Cacao, Acai, Mango, Detox, Chai, Metabolism and Immunity.

As listed, it moves from plain to floral to fruity to winter-spiced, and ends with three blends named for what they are meant to do for you. The brand describes the ingredients as Australian sourced and organic, and the tins as sustainable metal. At 58 Australian dollars it is a modest box, and a more focused one than a general tea calendar: every door is matcha, so it assumes a whisk and a taste for the powder.

That is the best reason to give it, and the main caution.

Taste & variety

Twelve tins, twelve matchas: Organic, Rose, Sakura, Vanilla, Strawberry, Cacao, Acai, Mango, Detox, Chai, Metabolism and Immunity. As the brand lists them they travel from plain to pudding to pharmacy.

Rose, sakura and vanilla are the floral and creamy end. Strawberry, mango and acai bring fruit. Cacao and chai are the winter pair, and with warm oat milk they come closest to a December drink. Detox, Metabolism and Immunity are best taken as flavour names.

Only one tin is simply Organic Matcha, so anyone who wants a pure bowl gets one day of it, and everyone else gets eleven days of invention.

Packaging & gift appeal

Each blend comes in its own metal tin, which the brand calls sustainable, and the set totals 120 g, 10 g to a tin. Tins are the right container for a fine powder that dislikes air and light: you open one, close it, and put it back on a shelf without fuss.

After Christmas they become a small collection, good for spices, loose change or a travelling spoonful of matcha. The brand describes the ingredients as Australian sourced and organic.

Twelve tins side by side on a counter also make a better December display than twelve paper sachets would.

What is in the box

Twelve sustainable metal tins of 10 g each, one matcha per day from 14 December: Organic, Rose, Sakura, Vanilla, Strawberry, Cacao, Acai, Mango, Detox, Chai, Metabolism and Immunity.

Buying advice

Golden Wattle lists the set at 58 Australian dollars on its own site (about US$38). The countdown begins on 14 December, so there is no rush to order in November, though sooner is safer for an overseas address.

All twelve tins arrive together, which makes it easy to wrap with a whisk, a bowl and a bamboo spoon for someone who is new to matcha.

Listed at $38.

What changed since last year

The twelve matcha blends and the metal tins are the same as last year. The price on the shop's own page was AUD 48 in November 2025 and is AUD 58 now.

Compared with archived brand pages and listings from 2025, checked October 16, 2026.

Our verdict

A tight, curious run of twelve flavoured matchas, from Rose and Sakura to Cacao and Chai, in tins that outlast December. It rewards someone who already whisks matcha at breakfast, and it will baffle someone who has never tried. A good late-start present for a matcha person.

What we like

  • Matcha only, with no filler tea
  • Reusable metal tins
  • Twelve distinct flavours, from Rose to Chai
  • Australian sourced organic ingredients, per the brand
A few things to know
  • Twelve days, not a full December
  • Only one tin is plain Organic Matcha, so purists get one pure day
