VAHDAM company teabag '24 single serve teas advent calendar'

Interesting tea company with a good mission (as explained in an included packet)

Includes good tea preparation instructions.

I think the card was inside supposed to be the other way around to keep the teas secret? maybe?

I wish the tea bag packets had been in an order instead of having to hunt.
