The Shibui Tea Advent Calendar


It's back for 2026 - twenty-four teas, one for each day up to Christmas Eve.


Strictly limited to 250 calendars - once they're gone they're gone!

The presentation is the same as 2025 - 24 sachets in a presentation wooden box together with a classic paper advent calendar which you can use to open and see what each day's tea is.

This year though we've done things a wee bit differently - we've grouped the teas into four journeys, each marked by its own colour on the calendar, so December takes you somewhere slightly different every few days.

The Six Great Tea Styles

Every true tea comes from the same plant. What makes a white a white and a black a black isn't the bush, it's what happens to the leaf after it's picked. Six days, six answers, one from each family.

The Baker's Kitchen

Sweet, warm and a little indulgent. Dessert flavours built onto proper tea and rooibos rather than propped up with sugar. Best in the afternoon, better still alongside the actual cake.

By the Fire

The unhurried ones, for when the light has gone and nobody's going anywhere. Day 24 closes the calendar, and it happens to be the founder's own favourite.

Christmas Market

Cold hands, warm cup. Spiced and festive, the sort of thing you'd drink standing outside on a dark afternoon.

Each day holds about 6g of loose leaf, which is roughly two cups — enough to share, or to come back to later in the week. The tea's name is hidden until you open the door, though you'll always see which journey you're on. Fourteen of the twenty-four are caffeinated and ten are caffeine-free, so there's always something for the evening.

The pouches are biodegradable paper and can be composted. The calendar itself is made to be kept and reused.

We'll put each day's tea up on this page as December goes on, so you can read about what you've just opened. You'll see this below - but they'll only open on the day so there's no peeking and cheating 😜

Please note:Ā  The calendars are exempt from discount codes.
