The Adagio 2026 Snowglobe Tea Advent Calendar is a 24-door tea advent calendar that turns the countdown to Christmas into a daily tea ritual. Behind each door is a different tea, with enough tea for an 8 oz pot every day until Christmas. At 8.5" x 12.75" x 2", it is designed to double as a shimmering winter decoration on a counter or shelf while you work your way through the 24 days.
Choose from three versions: loose leaf, decaf, or teabags. Whether you like steeping loose tea in a teapot, want caffeine-free evening cups, or prefer the convenience of a teabag, there is a tea advent calendar for you. It is also part of Adagio’s 2026 advent collection, alongside spice and coffee calendars.
| Version | Best for | What’s inside |
|---|---|---|
| Loose leaf | Tea drinkers who enjoy steeping leaves and want the widest variety of tea types | 24 different teas, including holiday black teas, green, white, and oolong blends, pu-erh, rooibos, and herbal teas |
| Decaf | Evening sipping and anyone cutting back on caffeine | 24 teas, including decaffeinated black teas such as decaf earl grey and decaf chai, plus naturally caffeine-free rooibos, honeybush, and herbal blends |
| Teabags | Easy daily cups at home, at the office, or on the go | 24 teabags in a mix of black, green, white, oolong, rooibos, and herbal teas, including Irish breakfast, masala chai, and gingerbread |
The loose leaf calendar is a tour of holiday flavors and everyday favorites. Cozy black teas include gingerbread, Christmas, candy cane, and pumpkin spice. For lighter cups there are blends like earl grey green, maple creme oolong, and white toasted coconut. Caffeine-free options include rooibos nutcracker, yuletide toddy, and minty comfort. The “Spoiler Alert” section above lists every tea and its ingredients, or you can keep it a surprise.
Open one door each day, starting on December 1 for most calendars, and brew the tea for the day. Because each calendar mixes black, green, white, oolong, rooibos, and herbal teas, the best water temperature and steeping time changes from day to day, so check the brewing guidance for each tea. Loose tea needs a teapot, infuser, or tea maker, while teabags only need a mug. Pair a cup with a little honey or a few tea cookies to make it a proper daily pause. If a tea becomes a favorite, you can find it in full-size pouches on its product page.
A tea advent calendar is an easy holiday gift for people who love tea, people curious about loose leaf, and anyone who enjoys a small daily ritual. It also works well as a family or office countdown, with one door and one pot of tea shared each day. For more ideas, browse Adagio’s Christmas gifts and tea samplers.
A tea advent calendar is a countdown calendar with a different tea behind each of its 24 doors, opened one per day in the lead-up to Christmas. Instead of a daily chocolate, you get a daily cup of tea, which makes it a way to sample a wide range of flavors over December.
The loose leaf version is the caffeinated edition and includes a mix of black, green, white, oolong, pu-erh, rooibos, honeybush, and herbal teas. The decaf version is built around decaffeinated black teas and naturally caffeine-free rooibos, honeybush, and herbal blends. The teabag version contains 24 teabags in a mix of black, green, white, oolong, rooibos, and herbal teas, and it is the simplest to brew.
Each version has 24 different teas. The loose leaf calendar includes holiday flavored black teas such as gingerbread, Christmas, candy cane, and pumpkin spice, along with green, white, and oolong blends, rooibos, and herbal teas. The decaf and teabag calendars use different tea lineups, and the full list for each version is shown in the “Spoiler Alert” section of this page.
Yes. The “Spoiler Alert” section of this page lists the teas and full ingredients for the loose leaf, decaf, and teabag versions. If you prefer to be surprised, you can skip it and open the doors one at a time.
Most 24-door advent calendars are opened one door per day from December 1 through December 24. If your calendar arrives late, you can open two doors on a day or two to catch up by Christmas Eve.
Each door holds enough tea for one 8 oz pot, and because the calendar mixes tea types, brewing times and temperatures differ. As a general guide, steep black tea in water just off the boil for 3–5 minutes, green and white teas in cooler water of about 175–185°F (80–85°C) for 2–3 minutes, oolong in water of about 195–205°F (90–96°C) for 3–5 minutes, and rooibos or herbal teas in boiling water for 5–7 minutes. Check the product page for each tea for exact brewing instructions.
The loose leaf calendar contains loose tea, so you will need a teapot, an infuser basket, or a tea maker to steep it. The teabag calendar only needs a mug and hot water.
The decaf calendar is designed to use decaffeinated tea and naturally caffeine-free herbal, rooibos, and honeybush blends. Rooibos, honeybush, and herbal teas contain no caffeine naturally. Decaffeinated black tea can still contain a very small amount of caffeine, so people who are highly sensitive may want to check with their doctor.
The teas in this calendar are listed as gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan-friendly. The full ingredient list for every tea appears in the “Spoiler Alert” section, so anyone with allergies or sensitivities should review it and contact Adagio customer service with any questions before buying.
A tea advent calendar suits tea lovers who enjoy variety, people new to loose leaf tea who want to try many flavors, coffee drinkers curious about tea, and anyone who likes a small daily ritual in December. It is also a low-pressure way to discover favorites before buying full-size pouches of a tea.
