Best tea advent calendars for 2024 | The Independent

Bird & Blend was the first company to ever create a tea advent calendar, back in 2016, so, it’s no surprise the brand’s offering is still one of the best you can buy.

It comes in a brightly decorated book-style box, featuring a cube for each day, which is handy if you want to take the day’s teabags to work. Each cube has two bags inside and all are best-selling or fan favourite blends, alongside the odd preview of Bird & Blend’s new teas for 2025. Better still, the calendar is 100 per cent plastic-free, and one tree is planted for every tea advent calendar the company makes.

Inside, you’ll find everything from strawberry lemonade to dark choc chilli chai flavours. Helpfully, each mini-box also details the ingredients, caffeine content and if you should serve with milk. There’s even gingerbread chai, mince pie and mulled cider flavours, to give your brew the requisite Christmas makeover, too.
