Overview

T2's Cabinet of Curiosity Advent Calendar captures the brand's colourful Australian energy in a storybook-shaped box designed to stay on display through December. Each door reveals a single tea bag spanning T2's signature bold blacks, refreshing greens, sweet fruit infusions, and soothing herbals, with magical notes and wishes tucked among the doors. It sits between budget supermarket calendars and premium loose-leaf formats.

Who it is for

Design-conscious gift buyers, T2 fans, and mid-range shoppers who want a display-worthy box without paying Fortnum or Whittard prices.

Taste & variety

One bag per day across bold T2 blacks, refreshing greens, sweet fruit infusions, rooibos, and herbals. T2's house style is bright and approachable, good daily drinkers with occasional standout doors.

Packaging & gift appeal

Hand-illustrated storybook cabinet is the main draw. Designed to stay on a shelf or sideboard all month, stronger visual appeal than most tea bag calendars.

What is in the box

24 tea bags in individual sachets, hand-illustrated cabinet presentation box, daily magical notes, and recyclable packaging.

Key features

24 individually wrapped tea bags
Hand-illustrated storybook cabinet design
Bold blacks, greens, fruits, rooibos, and herbals

Brewing tips

Single sachets suit one mug each. T2 blacks take near-boiling water; fruit and herbal doors can steep longer. Read the daily notes for pairing ideas.

Cons

−One bag per day, not two

Our verdict

Buying advice: Buy from T2 UK or Australian stores when stock arrives each autumn, around £29. Compare with Bird & Blend if you want two bags per day and more tea types.
