Fashion Compagnie & Co 2024 Tea advent Calendar

Presentation of the 2024 Tea Advent Calendar

At Compagnie & Co, every year we offer an Advent Calendar in very different formats, and for this new edition, we’re delighted to bring you this magnificent new Calendar created in our workshops in France.

Developed, designed and made in France, it offers 24 different teas and herbal teas, created in our own workshops, with original blends, in individually wrapped sachets in 24 boxes.

An original way to look forward to the festive season, discovering or rediscovering the subtle flavours of teas, plants and fruit that will take you on a journey like a travelling circus.

The little extra: A tote bag with the purchase of a calendar. And that’s not all: both the calendar and the berlingo bags (or pyramid bags) are made exclusively in France, and the box can be reused after Advent, once the last box has been opened! In fact, the boxes can be opened and resealed without having to rip out the little windows like most calendars on the market…

24 days to indulge yourself, an assortment of 24 boxes to open and let yourself be surprised with 24 different teas (plain and scented), herbal teas and rooibos, all with new flavours to accompany your end-of-year treats.

For this calendar, we’ve selected the best of our original and exclusive blends, created, flavoured and assembled in our own workshops in France to guarantee the best quality and taste. 

Some teas benefit from the steam flavouring process, a unique Compagnie & Co know-how, which has the advantage of freezing the aromas on the tea leaves so that they reveal faithful scents and flavours both on the nose and in the cup. 

The Berlingo® tea bag, developed by Compagnie & Co, has a pyramid shape and a silk-like texture that gives the whole leaves more room to infuse, releasing all their flavour and adding taste to the palate. 

Every day is an opportunity to discover (or rediscover) our gourmet teas and tasty infusions in Berlingo® bags: treat yourself to a moment of detox, sweetness and pleasure. 

The Advent calendar is also a great gift idea for introducing your friends to all the expertise of our brand.

It’s certainly one of the best calendars of the season!

Warning: the rest is for the curious! If you want to be completely surprised by the contents of your calendar, don’t read the following list!

Why offer a tea Advent calendar?

Because of its format and the wide range of different flavours it offers, the Advent Calendar has become a must-have gift idea.

What’s more, as you have to leaf through it every day, it’s also a great way of remembering the person you’re giving it to.

Where does the tradition of the Advent calendar come from?

While the tradition of Advent dates back to the earliest Christians, the calendar is much more recent, having originated in Germanic countries at the end of the 19th century. It was closely linked to Christian tradition and featured pious images each day, sometimes to be coloured in, to keep children waiting for Christmas.

From the 1950s onwards, Advent calendars began to feature sweets to accompany the pictures, and since the 2000s they have become a real source of surprises and treats for young and old alike.
