United KingdomOverview
The shop sells this as a Limited Edition Advent Calendar: one teabag behind each of 24 doors, a different blend every day, 44.65 g net. Twinings is the old London name. Thomas Twining opened a tea room at 216 Strand in 1706 and the business still operates from there; the logo dates from 1787, and Associated British Foods has owned the brand since 1964.
Alongside the teas come some of the brand's tips on getting the most out of life, and throughout December, scanning the calendar can unlock free gifts or free delivery. The UK shop lists it at £13.99 with free UK standard delivery on this product. The festive range elsewhere on the site runs from a cinnamon-and-clove Christmas Tea to Gingerbread Joy and Peppermint Cheer, sold as separate boxes.
Twinings also makes a larger calendar, with two bags behind each door and a wellness line-up, which suits sharing; this one is the single-drinker version.
Taste & variety
A different Twinings blend waits behind each door, and the calendar's own copy adds tips on getting the most out of life, so the daily cup comes with a small sermon. One bag per door also means that when a day goes well there is no second cup of it, which makes every door a one-off.
For a sense of how the house thinks about December, its separate festive range includes a Christmas Tea of cinnamon and cloves, Gingerbread Joy (a black tea with ginger and cinnamon), Winter Spice with apple, cardamom and clove, and a creamy vanilla Peppermint Cheer.
The larger calendar is the wellness one, with Detox, Focus and Glow blends, in the press coverage.
Packaging & gift appeal
Under 45 g net, this is a calendar you can post with a card. It is a Limited Edition, so it is made for one December, and Twinings has said of its calendars that they use recyclable materials and compostable teabags. The doors are where the house plays its one trick: scan during December and Twinings says you can unlock free gifts or free delivery, a mild game that keeps the box in view after the first week, when most calendars start gathering dust on the counter beside the toaster.

Compared with archived brand pages and listings from 2025, checked October 16, 2026.
Our verdict
A modest calendar with a very old name behind it, cheap to post and pleasant to receive. It will not impress a connoisseur, but that is not what it is for: it is the thing you send to the person you want to remember in December without making a fuss.
What we like
- A familiar, long-established tea name at an easy gifting price
- A different blend behind every door, with life tips tucked in
- Free UK standard delivery on this product, and a December scan for gifts or delivery
A few things to know
- One teabag a day, so it is a calendar for one person
- Everyday tea bags, not a calendar for loose leaf or rare-leaf enthusiasts

What buyers say
Buyers describe this mainly as a gift and like the variety, with several saying the recipient enjoyed trying a new tea each day. One reviewer felt the contents and design matched the previous year, and another thought the box could be more festive. The sample is small, a few entries have no text, and some comments appear to concern a related edition that came with a pocket tin, most from the 2025 season.
everyday excitement! never dissappoint me with all the variety of taste.
Great product!! I purchased the advent calendar for my wife and she loves it great variety.
identical to last years calendar in content and design and the only difference between the two calendars is one has one teabag the other has two
