    I had one of these in years past. It was lovely. And as advent calendars go, not that expensive.

      $3 per cup, so cheaper than a coffee shop I guess.

        Cheaper than a coffee shop latte for sure.

        They are like discovery sets, but for tea

    I had this one last year and really liked it. They have several blue teas with butterfly pea flower, and the tea really is blue or purple. Butterfly pea isn’t a particularly strong flavor (as compared to, say, hibiscus or rose), but wrapping my brain around the color took a minute. The Fortnum & Mason and Palais des Thes advent calendars are also quite nice. I’m trying the Clipper Ship one this year and will report back.
