Let me start by saying that I am a fan of tea. If you do not normally like tea, then this would probably be a waste of your money. If you still want to give it a go, that is up to you. Here is my review of the World Market English Tea Shop Advent Calendar to help you make that decision.

1. Chai Charge- To me, this tea tastes like a weak black tea. Chai is supposed to be practically overflowing with the flavor of the different spices and I did not get that when I tried it. 1/5
2. Festive Spice- This tea has a very specific taste (that I can’t think of at the moment) but I found it to be a little weak. 2/5
3. Super Star Anise- Decently aromatic, this tea also had a weak taste and the smell did not make the same taste. I wasn’t a fan. 1/5
4. Peachy Keen- I love peach in teas but this tea was once again, weak. 3/5
5. Tropical Lemongrass- This had a very pretty taste. It sounds strange but if you try it, you’ll get what I mean. It was very refreshing and I love lemon. 4/5
6. Happy Holiday- Actually quite delicious, this tea was sweet (probably because of the honey I added) with a waft of spice. 4/5
7. Ghostly Green- I love a good green tea and I know it can be an acquired taste. This organic green tea had cinnamon, ginger, peppermint, and rose, the flavors don’t really taste well together, in my opinion. 2/5
8. Happy Holiday- This was a repeat. It had flavor notes of cinnamon, pomegranate, ginger, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, and pepper. 4/5
9. Super Star Anise- This was also a repeat. It was a black tea with ginger, cloves, and star anise. 1/5
10. Spooky Spice- This organic green tea had cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, and pepper. I really wasn’t a fan of this tea. It tasted like someone tried the tea and then spat it back in the cup before I tasted it. 0/5
11. Ghostly Green- This was a repeat. 2/5
12. Peppermint Candy- I’m not normally a fan of peppermint tea, though I know that it’s really good for you, and this tea was a bit of a step up. An organic green tea with peppermint, orange, cinnamon, roasted chicory, and vanilla, it tastes like regular peppermint tea. I did not taste any other the other notes. 3/5
13. Tropical Lemongrass- This is a repeat. The notes are lemongrass, peppermint, hibiscus, rosehip, chamomile, and apple. 4/5
14. Chai Charge- This organic rooibos with cinnamon, cloves, turmeric, cardamom, garlic, and blue corn flower is a repeated flavor. 1/5
15. Post-Party Refresh- An organic green tea with cinnamon, garcinia, and acai berry. It had a weak flavor and I disliked the smell. 1/5
16. Post-Party Refresh- This is a repeat. 1/5
17. Gingerbread Treat- This organic black tea has cinnamon, ginger, apple, and cardamom. I thought it had almost no taste and tasted like boiled water. 0/5
18. Irish Holiday- An organic black tea with ginger, rooibos, and cinnamon that smells quite nice and would probably taste good if it weren’t so bitter. 1/5
19. Winter Warmer- Organic rooibos herbal tea with ginger, cocoa, star anise, and mace. It smells kind of like water beds ‘n stuff but tastes a little fruity and watery. 1/5
20. Spooky Spice- Repeat. 1/5
21. Festive Spice- Repeat. 2/5
22. Peppermint Candy- Repeat. 3/5
23. Peachy Keen- Repeat. 3/5
24. Gingerbread Treat- Repeat. 1/5
25. Irish Holiday- Repeat. 2/5

As you can see, I wasn’t a huge fan of these teas. That makes sense, seeing as how they are all similar variations of the same ingredients. Remember, just because I was not a fan, doesn’t mean you won’t be either. Let me know if you’ve tried them and what you thought about them.
