Matcha Tea Advent Calendar

This is my second year getting the Matcha Advent Calendar! I loved it so much last year that I had to get it again this year! So pleased to be getting some of my favourite limited edition flavours from this year in this calendar!

My only issue with the calendar this year is the box itself. The box is very delicate around the seams and the slots that keep the tubs in place don’t keep a hold of them, so by Day 1 they had gotten all mixed up and I had to blindly reach in and slot them back in. When you stand the box up or close it they all just fall back out of their slots again so we’ve just kept it flat and open.

This isn’t the worst issue for me as I just want the delicious matcha selection; however, it does mean that I have no idea whether the one I’m getting was meant to be for that day, so telling anyone about what I got is potential spoiler territory.

Maybe if it had been packaged like the Tea Advent Calendar with individual boxes, or with barriers between doors like last year, it would have been more secure?

Beyond happy with my Matcha advent calendar. I was a little hesitant to begin with because of the price, however thanks to the lovely people in Cardiff store I decided to go for it and I’ve not looked back!

With about 2 or 3 servings per pot I figured why wait till December to get tasting 😅 I’m going on the naughty list for sure! 🤣

I adore the variety and the quality. My matcha addiction started out in Japan and this matcha is just as gorgeous as out there!

A little note for manufacturing department… please add more glue next year. The way it opens means the glue fails pretty quickly. I’ve used an elastic band to keep mine together so it doesn’t wreck the surprise everyday and so the pots don’t go flying out everywhere. Also the pots do like to go for a wonder, so maybe to secure them a little more.

Overall getting to taste all the different types of matcha flavours and having such a variety means you’ll soon have favourites 😅 (I’m noting down my favourites so I can get bigger ones after! I hope they have all the flavours available to buy after 🫣)

I do find I get a better froth with my cat cup which is thicker. I definitely recommend getting the Matcha spoon from Bird&Blend as the measurement is perfect for the best cup 🍵

I’m completely obsessed with the Eggnog one! The mince pie is also amazing! My husband adores the raspberry ones! My sister almost didn’t give me back the carrot cake 😅
