2020 Tea Advent Calendar

They have a us site. Free shipping over 100. https://www.newbyteas.us/advent-calendar-2020.html

Good tea sleuthing! That price seems pretty steep though. $115 for 96 tea bags!

Yes it is. I didn’t look at the price of the teas by themselves.

ooooh. I wish I saw this before getting the bird and blend matcha advent, I think I would have enjoyed this moreeeee.

thanks for the link though, that looks delightful.

Looks like the loose leaf version is sold out, but they just posted about their bagged version on IG.

So fast? Nooo!

T2’s loose leaf is up now! Maybe it had been delayed.

Thanks; I won’t get it though :( Seems too pricey for me this year.

I got the T2 advent I ordered… sort of. I ordered loose leaf and got the bagged version. The teas in each version vary slightly and I’m a little disappointed at the thought of missing out on a few blends. No word yet from customer service.

This looks really cool and pretty reasonably priced! Although the shipping is a bit steep…

I’ve never heard of them! Have you tried their teas?

I haven’t! They have a couple blends I’ve been wanting to try, so I’m finally going to go for it.

I got that too and was surprised that I was on their advent calendar list apparently?

Does anyone remember how much it was last year? I recall is being pricey, but not the exact cost…

Unfortunately, a legacy brand like MF that caters to a primarily upper class customer base can practically charge whatever they want; the majority of their customer base will be swept up in the romanticized tea origin stories and not know better in terms of the ‘value’ of the tea…

I want to say it was 30 maybe 35 euros? Plus shipping, which I don’t recall the cost of. I had found it locally at once place for $70USD which I think was around the same price as if I had bought it directly from MF. Not worth it for 25 tea bags.

From last year’s thread… “It’s 39.00€ and 20 more for shipping to the states. I can’t justify that much in shipping for one item and you only get one teabag per day which makes it 2.45€ a teabag.”

Thanks Dustin – I thought it was under 40 euros, and looks like I was right. They increased the price this year then to 45 euros…

I think I’m gonna get it anyway; I had something European/French built into my advent plan for this year and I’ve probably had less than a half dozen MF teas (mostly the “big ones” like Marco Polo) so it’ll be a good crash course and will work for #adventaggedon on instagram…

that looks pretty nice :) but never had their teas

They have a unique way of scenting their teas with steam. The result is very shiny leaves in the black teas. I’ve only had two of their teas. I really love their Christmas tea. It’s cherry almond and ginger. The base is very forgiving. The only other tea I’ve tried is Balade a Bretagne which is a caramel oolong. Which was nice but subtle and did best when steeping Grandpa style which I don’t usually do with flavoured teas but it came out the most buttery in flavour that way.

It sounds quite bearable even with shipping. Well, we will see. I would like to have at least two this year and don’t look much forward doing same Sonnentor as last year.
