Counting down until Christmas has always been fun and exciting, but it was brought with more joy when I had an advent calendar as well. There was always something to look forward to in the morning when you could finally peak behind your calendar’s door to see what was in store for that day. Of course, back then, the typical chocolate themed advent calendars were most popular. Today, there are a plethora of items that are now used to help you countdown the days until the most wonderful time of the year. There definitely appears to be a lot more advent calendars for grown ups, and my most favourite are the tea themed ones.
Each year, DAVIDsTEA has an incredible advent calendar called 24 Days of Tea. Unfortunately, each year those calendars sell out almost instantly. By now, people know that if they want to be able to countdown until Christmas with David’s help, they need to be online or in-store right when the calendar launches. In this case, it was November 1st, and while I do not know if some stores still have a few available, they are don’t seem to be available online anymore.
This post was kind of inspired by DAVIDsTEA and their popular tea calendar that is, well, too popular. I wanted to be able to find any other tea themed advent calendars that are out there because there couldn’t possibly just be one. If you’re one of those people who missed out on the 24 days of tea, or just want to try a new advent calendar this year, these are a few tea advent calendars that are worth a look!
Artful Tea – Tea Advent Calendar Christmas Banner
This kit is filled with 24 tea filtered bags containing luxury loose leaf tea, 24 mini clothespins plus heavy jute string if you wish to hang it like garland. It also gives the option to pick from two different flavour options – festive (flavoured teas) or classic (unflavoured teas). Which means it can either consist of teas like Nutty Mocha Mate Tea and Mulled Wine Fruit Blend Herbal Tea or Organic Assam Black Tea and Fine Ti Kuan Yin Oolong Tea.

Teafarm – Tea Advent Calendar
While I was writing this post, I noticed Teafarm’s latest Facebook post that announced their own tea advent calendar. Perfect timing? Definitely.

This advent calendar comes together beautifully just ready to hang up and display.
