When it’s already getting dark at 16h, the last leaves are falling, and your hands are forever cold, it’s time for something warming. And what better way to warm yourself from the inside out than a freshly brewed cup of tea? That’s exactly what the Paper & Tea Advent Calendar is for: 24 tea breaks in December. Behind each calendar door, decorated with festive illustrations by in-house designer Sylvia Oeynhausen, find hand-selected organic teas. Each individually wrapped sachet is a small work of art, telling wintery stories. The blend “Winter Snow” recalls a peaceful walk through a snowy landscape with cinnamon, cardamom, and apple. “Mighty Green” is a fresh Sencha from Japan that evokes a bright winter morning. “Perfect Day” combines white and green tea with elderflower and peach — a perfect match for a clear winter day. And since everything is better when shared, each door (and each tea sachet) makes a full pot of tea. Founded in 2011, the Berlin-based company Paper & Tea is all about mindful moments: a brief pause of calm in an otherwise busy day. If you know someone who appreciates these small breaks too, there’s good news: when you buy two calendars, you automatically receive 25 per cent off your second. This way, you can secure a daily tea moment during the Advent season not only for yourself, but also for someone special. The Advent Calendar is available online, at the bright flagship store in Mitte, and in the west of the city on Fasanenstraße and at KaDeWe.
