25-Day Tea Advent Calendar: 25 Days of Moments Together

25 teas. 25 stories. 25 conversations to make the season a little more meaningful.

This holiday season, give more than tea. Give each other a reason to slow down, put the kettle on, and share a moment together.

Beginning December 1, open one loose-leaf tea each day. Discover its flavor, uncover the story behind the cup, and explore a conversation inspired by that day's tea. Share a cup. Discover a story. Create a moment worth remembering.

More Than a Tea Advent Calendar

There are 25 different loose-leaf teas 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 ordinary 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 taste 25 teas. You'll have had 25 reasons to know someone you love a little better.

25 Different Loose-Leaf Teas

Explore an extraordinary range of: Black • Green • White • Oolong • Pu-erh • Matcha • Yerba Mate • Rooibos • Herbal • Decaffeinated Tea

The collection moves through three Churchill's storytelling themes:

• Holiday Delights — comforting flavors that make December feel like December, from apple and cinnamon to chocolate, peppermint, vanilla, and mulled spices.
• History & Rituals — teas that introduce the places, people, craftsmanship, and cultural traditions behind the cup.
• Signatures & Stories — Churchill's customer favorites, award winners, and artisan creations with stories connected to our tea shop and the people who helped shape them.

Your Tasting Journey

Expect remarkable variety across the 25 days:

• Bright & Fruity - Peach • Apricot • Raspberry • Elderberry • Pomegranate • Citrus
• Floral & Delicate - Jasmine • Rose • Lavender • White Tea • Oolong
• Warm & Festive - Cinnamon • Clove • Vanilla • Chocolate • Peppermint • Orange
• Pure & Complex - Vegetal • Toasted • Malty • Earthy • Floral • Naturally Sweet

25 Teas. 25 Conversations.

The conversations begin simply with: What holiday food instantly takes you back?

Then, little by little, they go deeper:

• What place helped make you who you are?
  
• What do you need right now?
  
• What makes you feel fortunate?
  
• What makes somewhere feel like home?
  
• What story should our family remember?

Some may last two minutes over breakfast. Others may keep you at the table long after the tea is gone. The tea gets you to the table. What happens there belongs to you.

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 A: Keep the Surprise

Beginning December 1, use a barcode 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 B: 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 — Beginning December 1, discover the day's individually portioned loose-leaf tea.
2. BREW — Follow the brewing instructions created for that tea.
3. DISCOVER — Visit our online Advent Calendar and reveal the story behind your cup—its history, culture, inspiration, or Churchill's connection.
4. CONNECT — Explore the day's conversation question with someone you love.
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 and make December tea your nightly 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.

If you choose the pick-up option, please indicate either the Findlay Market or Madisonville store. Online pre-sale orders will be shipped out in November.  (Orders containing a Tea Advent Calendar Kit will ship together in November. To receive other items earlier, please place a separate order.)
