I love this luxurious set. I love getting to try all the different teas and learning a little bit about each! And it comes with a beautiful card with a painting of each tea is lovely. Just a delightful experience overall.

WHY I CREATED THIS
Created in honour of my grandpa's love for tea
My grandpa drank tea every single day of his adult life. Some of my earliest memories was watching him carefully steep each pot and waiting for the leaves to open.
I didn’t realize how special those moments were at the time. Tea was simply part of growing up. But looking back, it taught me that tea was never just something we drank. It was a reason to slow down, sit together, and appreciate what nature gives us.
That feeling inspired Inoki's Royal Tea Advent Calendar: 25 rare and exceptional single-origin teas sourced from the finest tea estates.
Creating this calendar feels like bringing those memories full circle. A ritual my grandpa shared with me is now one I get to share with you.

FAQ
What types of teas are included in the advent calendar?
25 ceremonial-grade green tea, oolong tea, royal flower tea, herbal tea, matcha, and blooming tea sourced from the finest estates.
We do not include “tea blends” like Earl Grey. Instead, we feature premium, organically grown traditional teas.
What comes inside the Tea Advent Calendar?
Inside, you’ll discover 25 individually packaged teas, thoughtfully curated to take you through rare, ceremonial, single-origin, floral, and blooming teas from celebrated tea regions.
How much tea is in each serving?
We provide enough tea for an entire pot (2x normal serving size), perfect for sharing with family, re-steeping throughout the day for personal enjoyment, or enjoying across multiple days.
Where are the teas sourced from?
Our teas are sourced from renowned tea estates and celebrated growing regions across 15 regions across China and Japan, selected for their exceptional quality, provenance, and craftsmanship.
When will my calendar ship?
Your calendar will ship in mid-November, arriving in time for you to count down to the holidays starting December 1st.
Is it caffeine-free?
Floral teas are caffeine-free, but all other teas have varying levels of caffeine.
In general, green tea has less caffeine and contains L-theanine, which slows absorption and promotes calm, giving smooth energy without jitters.
Most of the teas in our advent calendar contain either low, moderate, or high caffeine. We will communicate this information in our steeping guide.
How is the 2026 Tea Advent Calendar different from last year’s?
We listened to your reviews, keeping the teas you loved most from 2025 and introducing new rare ceremonial teas we believe you’ll absolutely adore.
Is the Tea Advent Calendar limited edition?
Yes. The 2026 Tea Advent Calendar is a limited seasonal release, with only a limited number available. Once this year’s collection is gone, it won’t be restocked.
Can I send this as a gift directly to someone else?
Yes, you can enter the recipient’s address at checkout, and we’ll take care of the rest. You also have the option to include a personalized gift message.
What is the capacity of the teapot, and how many cups does it make?
The teapot holds 500 ml, while each tea cup holds 50 ml, making a full pot approximately 10 small cups.
How should I clean the tea set
Glass is dishwasher safe.
Hand wash the acacia wood lid separately and dry thoroughly.
Avoid abrasive sponges and sudden temperature changes.
Will there be slight variations between each piece?
Yes. Because elements of our glassware are shaped and finished by hand, subtle variations are part of the craftsmanship, making each piece slightly unique.
What should I do if my glassware arrives damaged?
Please contact our customer care team with your order details and photos of the damaged glassware, and we’ll be happy to help.

I ordered one for myself and one for my mother in law who also loves tea. The quality and range of tea was exceptional. The packaging was beautiful and the card was super helpful as I checked off teas as I went and wrote notes about teas I wanted to buy for the future. This was so fun and I hope they do it again next year!
I had a wonderful time experiencing and enjoying the 2025 Tea Advent Calendar. I have a private blog of every day and the experience I had with each tea, but it far exceeds the word limit here; I had too many wonderful things to say. If there is ever a way to purchase 1 or 2 oz of these teas (or future teas from the incredible tea farmers and other artists involved) I would be very interested!
This tea is delicious! I am really enjoying the experience! I like how there is enjoy tea in each satchel/pack to make a pot of tea or have a second cup on another day. Favs so far are Ceremonial Dragonwell and Spearmint St. Helens
A wonderful selection of teas that have created a beautiful daily ritual of tea experiences. I am still working through the set, but I am really loving the variety and the quality.
My family has enjoyed this tea calendar both last year and this year. It's been a very nice treat to share each evening. Great quality and variety.
Hi! Even though it’s quite an investment for me, I truly enjoy the Royal Tea Calendar every single day. Some of the tea bags are filled so generously that I don’t finish them in one day, which means the teas stay with me for a few extra weeks into the new year. And there they are — my delicate December teas, still waiting to be enjoyed. I love that there are no added aromas, just the pure essence of nature and such a gentle, refined taste. Each tea is different, and enjoying one every day feels like a small personal ritual — even if, after paying customs taxes here in Europe, it ended up being a little more than a small treat.
Beautiful and I can’t wait to try them all!
This is a beautiful set!
I sent one to my mom and got one for myself and we've had so much fun comparing notes on the teas every day. So many of these teas are new to me and so delightful. My favorite so far was the royal chrysanthemum (pictured) and the blue lotus. Best advent calendar ever and totally worth the price.
Such a fun experience to try new teas and take a few minutes to slow down and enjoy the present moment. Absolutely love the care and attention to detail that was put into this Advent Tea Calendar!! Highly recommend as a way to treat yourself and/or loved ones who enjoy trying new things and are open to trying new teas.
truly wonderful Advent set with so many beautofulw, unique teas- felt like a proper Tea Tour of the World! Especially loved the blooming teas and the Oolong selections, will definitely be reordering next year!!
Absolutely loved it. The idea, the presentation, the selection. Since I've descovered Inoki, I have focused more on the quality of the products I use for my wellbeing. I deserve the best so I wanted the best. Needless to say this calendar advent has added so much value to my "me time". I wasn't a fan of the ginger root tea, but the rest of the teas were divine. I hope to see more of it in the future.
Amazing, delicious, fun experience
Wonderful tea. Tasty and thoughtfully created. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience.
I loved the royal tea ceremony Advent calendar. The teas were all amazing; my favorites were the shangrila rose and the uji ceremonial matcha.
Every day was a welcome retreat into the Advent season. I loved looking forward to the daily tea, learning about the origins and uses, historical significance or where the teas were grown. The tea guide was super helpful in aligning the perfect water temperature with the steep time to bring out the best flavors in each tea. I reconnected some old friends and discovered new favorites! Definitely part of my best Advent ever. Thank you, Helen and Inokibathhouse team <3
What a wonderful tea advent calendar! It was obvious that all the teas were fresh and of high quality, even the teas that were not to my taste. My favourites were the Regular Chrysanthemum, Milk Oolong, Golden Heaven and Uji Ceremonial Matcha.
I was gifted this and I absolutely loved it! I got to try a lot of new teas that I hadn’t before and got to know my likes and dislikes a lot better! :)
I've already reached out to the Inoki team about a 2025 pre-order. I am absolutely over the moon enamored with my advent calendar!!! I love tea to begin with and this has not only exposed me to so many different, delectable, delightful varieties of tea but it's also helped me to taste their different flavor profiles!! YES I can taste the smokiness. YES I can taste the caramel. YES I can taste the delicacy. I especially love that all of these are organic. That's my highest priority when choosing tea. If I haven't totally loved every tea I've tasted (and that's been most of them!) the two or three that didn't really grab me definitely had very positive health benefits so I drank the whole pot with no hesitation - health benefits are my second priority when choosing tea. I'm already looking forward to next year's advent calendar. But why do we have to wait for Christmas?! Easter calendar! Halloween calendar! St. Patrick's Day calendar! ... so yeah, obviously I'm fan. LOL! Thank you, Inoki team, for creating such a magical treat!!
I loved testing out each of the different teas and learning a little bit about them. Steep times were included as well. For me, the purchase was worth it!
Love it! I bought it two years in a row, and will keep buying. All the teas are fresh and interesting to brew.
The experience was wonderful. I got to try a ton of tea, found some amazing things that I absolutely loved and a few I really disliked. But that was the beauty of it. Taking the time to sit down every day and brew the tea was a fantastic experience, and I’m looking forward to it this next December.
The teas are wonderful and something worth sharing. Each one was a reminder to relax and enjoy the moment.
Gave it to my husband and he loved it. Only request would be more decaf or a full decaf option. Delicious and beautiful.
I really enjoyed the advent tea calendar. It actually influenced me to go search out some of the teas to keep in my regular rotation.
It is a tradition that I buy a tea Advent calendar every year. It's usually disappointing to try new brands. I don't enjoy flavored items. The tea selection was so wonderful that I saved the paper explaining the tea and brewing instructions. The golden monkey was new to me and sublime. Hope you have a 2026 tea offering.
It was easy to make two servings of each of each sachet. The teas were a wonderful selection and I enjoyed learning about new teas. My only suggestion would be more sustainable yet luxurious packaging - maybe a tin with a hinged lid that can be repurposed, not just recycled - at the end. The price of the calendar lends itself to better packaging. And no QR Codes - it’s supposed to be about a slow moment of enjoying the teas.
I cannot wait for the 2026 calendar. This year, I will be buying at least two.
Perfect for those of us who enjoy the wind down and art of the soak! Great gift too!
Beautiful advent calendar
This was a lovely gift and a tremendously calming experience. I appreciated the brewing information and the notes on origin. Two suggestions for the future: a suggested water to leaf ratio and perhaps a resealable bag for those teas that can make more than one cup.
Although this advent calendar is on the pricier side, it is definitely worth it. The packaging is excellent. The teas are very high quality. Each package had enough for at least two servings of tea. My son considers himself a tea aficionado and he was very pleased with the whole thing. Thank you for the effort that went into curating such a delicious collection. Additionally, I was pleased to be able to support a small Canadian business. I was very happy with the experience from the time I purchased online until December 24 when the tea was finished. I would definitely buy this again.
my daughters shared the tea advent calendar and appreciated the QR code for extra information about each tea and brewing time
This has been so fun to try new teas and read about them every day. The teas are high quality and have some fun surprises in the varieties. I want to buy this every year!
Great box set! Beautiful variety of teas. The first couple have been excellent and looking forward to the rest. The packaging is nice and the guide is very helpful.
Beautiful and tasted so good! Savoring each cup.
The tea arrived after Dec 1st, which defeats the purpose of an approach to advent. Some of the tea has no flavor e.g. the yellow chyrthsamum. Also it’s not clear how to enhance the tea. Some tea is best with a little honey, lemon or maple syrup.
I ordered this for my wife, who is a huge tea fan, but thankfully she's been sharing each day's tea with me (who is ALSO a huge tea fan ;). Each day we have a small tea ceremony to taste the day's tea, learn about it, and then just sit with it and chat. It's been so lovely that we're going to continue our new, little tradition even after we've run out of samples!
This batch of teas is some of the best I've ever had! The variety is wonderful.
