Best tea advent calendars for festive brews this December

We filled the kettle, grabbed our favourite mug and tried all the teas inside these calendars - (Siobhan Grogan/The Independent)

Christmas can be a stressful time, between shopping, partying and cobbling together ropey costumes for the kids’ nativity play. One sure-fire way to carve out some me-time in the midst of it all is by treating yourself to one of the best tea advent calendars. Simply pop the kettle on and enjoy a moment of peace.

Offering something a little different to bog-standard chocolate-filled options, and healthier beverages than calendars stuffed with gin, wine or beer, tea advent calendars provide the perfect Christmas treat. As they usually contain just one or two teabags per day, you’re also guaranteed to use everything inside, unlike seriously-pricey beauty advent calendars, which may include products that will end up discarded in the back of your bathroom cabinet.
