Overview
Twelve named blends fill the 24 doors, each one appearing twice across the month: high-quality black and green tea plus caffeine-free rooibos. The draw is Moominvalley itself. Open a door, get a small celebration and a good cup, which is a fair description of what this calendar does to a December morning. It wraps well too.
Taste & variety
The same quality tier as the standard Nordqvist box: black, green and rooibos with winter-friendly flavours. One thing to know first. The 24 bags cover 12 flavours, so every blend comes round twice. Variety is good for the price. Depth is not what you are paying for.

Packaging & gift appeal
The Moomin artwork is the draw, and it is charming enough to be collectible. Anyone raised on Tove Jansson's world will recognise it across a room.

Our verdict
Moominvalley on the kitchen table for all of December, with quality teas behind the doors and a price that does not sting. Buy it for the artwork, stay for the tea.
