What is a Tea Advent Calendar and its Origins?
With the holiday season fast approaching, Christmas will be here before we know it. And what better way to celebrate the festive season than with a quintessentially British Tea Advent calendar?
The Origins of Advent Calendar
The word "Advent" comes from Latin and means "arrival." The Advent Calendar tradition began on the Sunday closest to St. Andrew's feast day and lasted for three subsequent Sundays.
Nowadays, it typically starts on December 1st and continues until Christmas Day. Advent calendars have evolved from simple chalk strokes on a door to include clocks, candles, and wreaths.
In 1908, Gerhard Lang created one of the earliest known advent calendars in Germany, replacing mounted candles with small pictures.
In 1958, a British chocolatier introduced the practice of placing chocolate behind each door, sparking a trend for advent calendars to include surprise gifts.
