Overview
The selection is genuinely varied: brisk black and green teas sit beside fruit infusions and calming herbal blends such as lavender chamomile and lemon balm. Whole-leaf temples brew a fuller cup than standard dust-filled bags. The wellness leaning gives the calendar an identity instead of the random grab-bag feel some countdowns have. Packaging is plastic-free recyclable cardboard with 24 numbered doors, one tea temple behind each, and some windows add a short note or fun fact to keep the daily reveal tidy.

Our verdict
A solid, sustainability-minded tea advent calendar that prioritises good whole-leaf tea and variety over spectacle. The wellness leaning and B Corp credentials set it apart, though the daily reveals are understated and pricing has risen over time.
