This was the first bath I tried and is still my favourite so far. Very soothing and calming, and yes I slept very well afterward. Thanks!

We’re meticulous about what we share, because extraordinary tea should live up to its story.
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 in Asia.
We do not include “tea blends” like Earl Grey with added flavours. Instead, we feature premium, organically grown traditional teas.
The actual list can be found above.
What comes inside the Tea Advent Calendar?
Inside, you’ll discover:
- 25 individually packaged teas, with a generous serving size, enough for a pot of tea.
- A physical tea menu with hand-drawn art illustrations with tea names and steeping instructions.
- A QR code to lead you to our digital steeping guide, tea origin details, fun tea facts, and a link to a curated Spotify playlist.
When will my calendar ship?
All advent calendars will ship in mid-November, arriving in time for you to count down to the holidays starting December 1st.
Why is this advent calendar more expensive than other tea advent calendars?
Most tea advent calendars are made with more widely available teas that are flavoured, blended, or produced at scale. Our Tea Advent is intentionally different.
Each calendar features an exclusive collection of single-origin teas, rare early harvests, and hand-crafted ceremonial teas sourced from exceptional estates across Asia. Many of these teas are produced in limited quantities and are selected for their distinctive character, craftsmanship, and quality.
Every serving is individually weighed and packed by hand. The delicate nature and unique shapes of these teas make them unsuitable for standard machine packing, so each calendar requires significant hands-on time to assemble.
We’ve also provided a generous serving of each tea, designed for an entire tea pot (2x serving size), allowing you to enjoy multiple steeps or share the experience with someone special.
Finally, this is a limited production run. We’re only making a set number of calendars this year, and once they sell out, we won’t be restocking them.
How much tea is provided?
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 the finest generational tea estates across 15 regions in China and Japan, selected for their exceptional quality, provenance, and craftsmanship.
Are any teas caffeine-free?
Yes, 9 out of 25 teas are caffeine-free.
In general, green tea has less caffeine and contains L-theanine, which slows absorption and promotes calm, giving smooth energy without jitters.
We will communicate information on caffeine levels in our steeping guide.
How is the 2026 Tea Advent Calendar different from last year’s?
We've kept the most loved teas and introduced 12 new teas this year. This includes premium swaps we've made.
Similar teas to last year that we've made swaps for include including a more premium pu'er, matcha, and ginseng.
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 in the notes section and we'll do our best to accomodate.
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 tea cup or tea pot?
Because elements of our glassware are shaped and finished by hand, subtle variations are part of the craftsmanship, making each piece unique.

Love these jars. Beautiful to keep all my bath soaks in.
These are my favorite scrunchies! I love the silky fabric and that they came with little bows! It is such a lovely touch. The pouch is very soft to the touch and structured so it stands up well. The headband has a nice waffle texture and sturdy Velcro.
I’ve been a huge fan of Inoki’s tea baths. This one has a beautiful floral aroma and is very soothing for my sensitive skin. The oats make the water a little more textured and moisturizing. Really loved this limited edition bath!
Love! So luxurious, smells amazing, makes a fabulous luxe gift to yourself or a friend. I scooped out one fifth of the mixture and added it to my sachet bag rather than reusing as directed by storing in the fridge between uses. This worked best for me as a busy mom of four with limited fridge space, and the quality ingredients were still enough to work at a fraction of the recommended amount.
I absolutely love the Nordic tea bath. It smells wonderful and the spearmint is so invigorating! I have a toddler, so my bath time ritual is not very often. I decided to splurge for my birthday this year and got the Inoki sampler pack. I am so glad I did. 😁
The tea gave this beautiful smoky bluish green color, I could feel the moisture from the milk. So relaxing and soothing.
Amazing bath. High quality botanicals, amazing scent and perfect post bath clarity!
This is absolutely beautiful. I loved every part of the experience, and I would definitely buy it as a gift for someone special🤍
I absolutely loved this tea bath ritual. It turned an ordinary bath into such a relaxing experience, and the floral scent was beautiful without being overpowering. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long day, and I’ll definitely be using it again🥹🤍✨
I bought this set to find my favorite scent and now I feel like I need it all. The bath is so soothing and relaxing. It makes my bathroom smell heavenly even after the bath is over. I am a forever customer now!
Relaxing spa day! Will be purchasing more.
Smells amazing and left my skin so soft after exfoliating in the bath.
Love the brand design on my glass jar - it's honestly a bit bigger than I thought and it could definitely hold a "full-soak" of any of the lovely bath mixtures! I can't wait to get my hands on more of them in the future! Love that the lid is wooden and that it doesn't easily pop off if tilted! (Pictured: "Ethereal Garden" - mini soak)
As of this moment, I've used the Nordic Lagoon twice! It's been incredibly relaxing, soaking in the tub and the spearmint is quite refreshing! My skin feels much smoother and moisturized compared to using bath bombs! I'm never going back and hope to get my hands on more products! <3
Love all of these teas! The Nordic Lagoon is my personal favourite. Also I know you aren’t marketing it as such, but I have a steam shower that I use your teas with and it’s absolutely amazing! All I do is tie the tea bag over the steamer head and let the tea diffuse into the steam as the sauna shower fills up. Great way to maximize the use of the tea! Will definitely be buy more soon!
I did a quick retreat to the Oregon Coast and was looking forward to long soaks with this Tea Bath. It was amazing and I slept like a baby each night.
Loved everything!!
It’s so relaxing to slip into my hot tea bath after a busy day—nothing better!!
Loooooove this bath mix. One of my favorites 🥰
Like it but not my favorite. I drink cold mint tea everyday so it was a little stange to bath in a similar tea. Very strong. Next time will try half the amount.
This tea bath is my absolute favorite! My muscles feel wonderful after soaking in it and I fall sleep right away. I have made this one a ritual one once a week now. I suffer from inflammation in my ankles and have noticed a huge benefit in my health since using it. Wish I could buy this one in bulk. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful tea bath!
Inoki did not disappoint! Best bath I ever took. I choose Mt fog for my first bath and my kitties even hung with me lol I had best sleep and woke up feeling amazing. My muscles were so relaxed. I will be a life long Inoki customer!
I am citrusy glowing! Love love love my 1st bathing ritual! Thank you for the high-quality products and regal packaging. From the elegant gift boxes to the red envelope, I am a lifetime customer.
I absolutely adore these products. This purchase was a roofer and also purchased a sampler pack as a gift. Mountain fog is my favorite but all of the blends transport you to a beautiful place.
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.
The design on the jar I received was different than the jar in the picture (one of which at least seems to have been updated on the website since). Otherwise, the jar is nice. Customer service was also prompt and helpful regarding the issue.
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!
Really enjoyed this tea bath. Very calming relaxing. Playlist was perfect. Will be purchasing again
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.
Beautiful fragrance and definitely supported healthy blood flow. I’ve now used the same bag for two baths and both were deeply healing. Soaking in the tea bathe was uplifting and soul nourishing.
Home spa day treating myself - the mystery gift is a bit messy & very unnecessary so I gave it a 3 (average) review. Very frivolous but nice none the less.
