Paper & Tea Organic Tea Advent Calendar

What could be better during Advent than opening a little door of the Advent calendar every day with excitement and full of anticipation? Especially when there are delicious teas hidden behind them, with tempting names like "Perfect Day", "Chocolate Cure", "Sweet Lullaby" or "Sprite's Delight". With this Advent calendar, you will not only enjoy a different tea every day. You will also get to know the whole variety of tea creations from Paper & Tea, a colorful selection of 14 partly flavored black tea, green tea and herbal teas as well as tea blends - all in organic quality.
It's good to know that besides enjoyment, sustainability is also high on the agenda. For example, the individual teas come in tea bags made of organic cotton, which are packed in aroma-safe recyclable foil. The Advent calendar itself is made of FSC-certified cardboard on the outside and inside. So you can enjoy your daily little tea break with a good feeling and get in the mood for the Christmas season. And of course you can also give the Advent calendar as a gift and make other Teeliebhaber*innen a joy.

Nothing happens by chance, not even a business address. Paper & Tea’s adress is Bleibtreustraße (i. e. Stay True Street) in Berlin Charlottenburg. It’s a good address; however, one can’t help thinking of it as a symbolic synopsis of the meticulousness, perseverance and attention to detail Paper & Tea’s founder and owner Jens de Gruyter exudes when talking about his passion: tea. The well-travelled, thoughtful man grew up in Canada and devoted quite some time to professional photography. Then he came into contact with tea through his uncle, who gave up the coffee trade and switched to tea in the 1970s-80s. De Gruyter picked up on this with personal interest. Wheresoever he went, tea was in his focus. In 2009 he became convinced to make a profession out of his enthusiasm for tea and his vocation for uncovering even the most delicate nuances of tea aromas. So he spared no expense and effort: He repeatedly travelled to the classic tea countries such as China, Japan, Korea, and Thailand and visited – accompanied by interpreters – local tea farmers who still work on family-sized farms. His perseverance bore fruit when Paper & Tea opened by the end of 2012. Meanwhile, you find exceptional black and green teas by P&T; plus, De Gruyter mixes specific blends of herbal teas. In its distinguished design and subtle details, the on-site shop reflects its owner’s approach when talking about tea with all his love and in hushed tones: instructive but not intrusive, immediately sensorial appealing. Certainly, Paper & Tea has a unique position in the Berlin manufactory scene. But apart from this, de Gruyter has another argument in favour of tea: Over and above the immediate relish a cup of tea adds to busy everyday life, drinking tea is – to the core – a sensual experience. What’s more, it can bolster mindfulness by contributing to personal rituals and helping chance along for analogue, interpersonal communication, and encounter.
