Before You Open Day One
Everything you need to choose between 24 matchas and 24 loose-leaf teas.Yes. Both calendars qualify for free standard worldwide shipping.
After dispatch, delivery to the US and EU is estimated at 4–12 business days. Destinations served from Japan usually take around 10 business days.
US and EU orders ship domestically. For destinations served from Japan, local duties or VAT may apply.
Payment is taken when you order, reserving your calendar from the 2026 production run.
Both calendars ship in November so you can start on December 1. We will email your tracking number as soon as your parcel leaves our warehouse.
The 2025 calendars sold out in under three weeks, so pre-ordering is the surest way to get one.
Choose Matcha for 24 different matchas that reveal how the farm, region and cultivar change the cup: 22 ceremonial-grade and 2 latte-grade.
Choose Loose Leaf for a broader taste of Japan, with sencha, gyokuro, hojicha, genmaicha, kukicha and more.
One goes deep. The other goes wide.
Yes. Twenty-four days means 24 genuinely different teas. No repeats. No reruns.
Whichever calendar you choose, every envelope brings something new to taste.
Both come in a printed sleeve over a dark-green storage box, with 24 numbered envelopes and 24 individually sealed sachets.
The Matcha Calendar contains 2g per day, or 48g in total. Each Loose Leaf sachet is portioned for one brew.
Teaware is included only when you select a teaware option.
Every tea in both calendars is grown without pesticides and contains no added flavoring or sweeteners.
Pesticide-free does not automatically mean certified organic; certification varies by farm. We buy directly from the growers, visit their farms and processing facilities, and taste the teas ourselves.
Absolutely. Every day comes with simple brewing guidance, so you learn by tasting—not studying.
Experienced tea drinkers will still find plenty to compare, from farms and regions to cultivars and brewing temperatures.
For Matcha, you need a bowl and whisk. A sifter helps you create an even smoother bowl.
For Loose Leaf, use a teapot or infuser.
Starting from scratch? Choose one of the teaware options when you order.
Follow the instructions inside the numbered envelope.
For matcha, use the full 2g sachet and whisk with 70°C / 160°F water. For loose leaf, use the temperature and steeping time shown for that tea—gyokuro and hojicha do not want the same treatment.
Matcha, no: you whisk and drink the whole leaf, so one sachet makes one bowl.
Loose leaf, often yes: many Japanese teas can be steeped again, giving you another cup from the same leaves.
Yes. Matcha naturally contains caffeine, as do the Japanese green teas in the Loose Leaf Calendar.
The amount varies by tea and preparation. If you are sensitive to caffeine, enjoy yours earlier in the day.
Absolutely. Both calendars arrive ready to impress, with a premium sleeve, dark-green box and 24 numbered envelopes inside.
Add teaware for a complete starter set, or gift the calendar on its own.
