FinlandOverview
Nordqvist, a Finnish family firm founded in Helsinki in 1979, fills the 24 doors with twelve named blends, each one twice, with the second half of the month repeating the first. Black tea carries Sweetheart (wild strawberry), Go for It! (blueberry muffin), Circus Fun (popcorn, caramel), Moominmamma's Magic Potion (rhubarb, strawberry) and I Should Know (lemon).
Rooibos covers Tangy Trick, You'll See, Sunshine, Me Too, Ready to Go and Fluffy Clouds, whose flavours run from lemon tart and chocolate cake to banana, vanilla and chamomile. Garden Delights is a peach green tea. The bags weigh 1.75 g each, 1.5 g for the green.
The teas are Rainforest Alliance Certified, vegan and gluten-free. The Moominvalley artwork is the draw.
Taste & variety
Twelve blends, each appearing twice, with doors 13 to 24 repeating doors 1 to 12. Five are black tea: Sweetheart (wild strawberry), Go for It! (blueberry muffin), Circus Fun (popcorn and caramel), Moominmamma's Magic Potion (rhubarb and strawberry) and I Should Know (lemon).
Six are rooibos: Tangy Trick (lemon tart, vanilla), You'll See (chocolate cake), Sunshine (orange), Me Too (strawberry, vanilla), Ready to Go (banana, vanilla) and Fluffy Clouds (chamomile, cinnamon, vanilla, aloe vera). One, Garden Delights, is a peach green tea.
So half the doors are rooibos and therefore caffeine-free, which makes it a good evening calendar for a household with children.
Packaging & gift appeal
Moominvalley in winter, across 24 doors, is the point of the box. The tea behind it is modest in size: 1.75 g per bag, 1.5 g for Garden Delights, so the bags make one mug each.
The teas are Rainforest Alliance Certified, vegan and gluten-free. After December the box becomes a Moomin object that someone will keep, which is how these things usually go.
What is in the box
24 Moomin-themed tea bags (1.75 g each) covering 12 blends twice over, in Moominvalley winter packaging.

What changed since last year
This is a redesign, not a repeat. Last year's box held 24 different teas, six of them green; this year's holds 12 blends, each twice, with one green. Twelve of last year's blends are gone. The price was EUR 18.50 last October and is EUR 24.90 now, and the 2026 page adds a gluten-free label.
Compared with archived brand pages and listings from 2025, checked October 16, 2026.
Our verdict
The Moominvalley art is why you buy it, and the sweet dessert-style blends are why a child will drink it. Black tea and rooibos dominate, with a single green tea, and the second half of December repeats the first. A gift for a Moomin fan, not for a tea connoisseur.
What we like
- Moominvalley artwork on every door
- Half the blends are caffeine-free rooibos
- Rainforest Alliance Certified, vegan and gluten-free
- A box a fan will keep
A few things to know
- Only one green tea in the whole box
- Twelve blends, each repeated in the same order

What buyers say
The short reviews, all from verified buyers, were posted between mid-September and late October. They mention the Moomin artwork and colours, the packaging, friendly service and how well the calendar worked as a gift. At least one reviewer had not yet tried the teas, and the only note of reservation concerns the look of the cover.
It's super cute and I love the moomins

24 doors. 24 Moomin-themed tea bags (1.75 g each) covering 12 blends twice over, in Moominvalley winter packaging..
