25 teas. 25 stories. 25 conversations. One journey to share.

Our popular Tea Advent Calendar returns for 2026—reimagined with 24 loose-leaf teas, one matcha experience with an enclosed matcha tool, and a richer digital journey that takes you beyond the cup.

Beginning December 1, open a new tea each day. Taste its flavors, uncover the history, culture, and stories behind the cup, and share a conversation inspired by each day’s discovery.

You have the option to choose your Advent experience: 1) keep the surprise and reveal each tea with us daily (recommended), OR 2) peek ahead and discover all 25 teas at once by opening the enclosed tea inserts. Explore our daily digital reveal site by visiting HERE.

Share a cup. Discover a story. Begin a journey. Make a memory together.

More Than a Tea Advent Calendar

There are 24 different loose-leaf teas and one day of matcha (with an enclosed matcha tool) inside this calendar—but the tea is only the beginning. We created this year's Churchill's Advent Calendar around human connection: the conversations, shared rituals, family stories, and moments that become some of our favorite memories.

Every tea has been intentionally paired with a story and conversation invitation. One day might take you to the ancient Blue Mountains of India and ask about the place that shaped you. Another explores the ritual of sharing South American yerba mate and invites you to simply sit with someone and stay awhile.

By Christmas Day, you'll have done more than tasting 25 teas. You'll have had 25 reasons to know someone you love a little better.

Choose Your Advent Adventure

Some people love the suspense. Others absolutely need to know what's behind every door. We made room for both.

OPTION 1: Keep the Surprise

Beginning December 1, use a QR Code to follow our digital 25-day Advent Calendar. Each day unlocks a new tea and a richer story behind your cup—its history, culture, flavor, inspiration, or connection to Churchill's. You'll also discover the day's conversation invitation and, on selected days, recipes, traditions, and special ways to enjoy your tea. One tea. One story. One conversation. Come back tomorrow for the next.

OPTION 2: Reveal Them All

Can't wait—or choosing the calendar for someone with particular tea preferences? Open the sealed inserts to see the complete collection at once. You'll know exactly which teas are included while still being able to return each day in December for the expanded story and experience. Knowing the teas doesn't spoil the stories.

How the Advent Experience Works

1. OPEN — Find today's numbered tea in an individually portioned tea bag.
2. REVEAL — Scan the QR Code to visit the reveal site, tap today's tile to uncover the tea's story, tasting notes, brewing guidance, traditions, and little surprises we've selected.
3. BREW — Follow the brewing instructions created for that tea.
4. CONNECT — Explore the day's conversation question with someone you love, or for a journey of self-reflection.
5. REPEAT — Tomorrow, another tea and another story are waiting.
   

Selected days also include special ways to enjoy the tea, including festive recipes and holiday rituals.

Made to Give. Even Better to Share.

Give it to your partner or loved one and make December tea your daily ritual. Send one to a parent, sibling, child, or friend far away and open the same tea while you talk. Bring it home for the family—or enjoy the entire journey yourself. 

Because sometimes the most meaningful part of a gift isn't what's inside the box. It's the invitation that comes with it: Put the kettle on. Sit with me. Tell me something.

Make the Story Yours

Tea carries stories—of the places where leaves are grown, the people who make them, the cultures that developed rituals around them, and the people who eventually share the cup. This Advent Calendar leaves room for one more story: Yours.

On Christmas Day, after 25 teas and 25 conversations, ask each other one final question:

What from these 25 days should become ours?

Maybe it's Sunday afternoon tea. Calling someone more often. Baking an almost-forgotten recipe. Ten phone-free minutes together. Or using the good china for no particular reason. Because traditions don't always begin hundreds of years ago. Sometimes they begin with two people, two cups, and one ordinary moment worth repeating.

The cups were meant to be emptied. The moments are the things we hope you'll keep.
