Birchall Earl Grey Individually Wrapped Envelope Tea Bags – 250 Pack

Birchall Earl Grey envelope tea bags are supplied in a box of 250, with each tea bag individually wrapped in its own envelope. Every bag comes with string and tag, making them easy to serve and straightforward to restock at scale. A bright, fragrant Earl Grey from one of the UK’s most credentialled independent tea companies.

Birchall has been in the tea industry for over 150 years, with five generations of the Birchall Graham family behind every blend. Their Wiltshire factory is the UK’s first fully solar-powered tea factory, and all their tea bags and packaging are plant-based and plastic-free — a meaningful point of difference for businesses with sustainability commitments.

Product Overview

Birchall Earl Grey is a five-generation family recipe. All leaves are sourced from the best plantations in East Africa — from Rwanda to the Great Rift Valley of Kenya — and are hand-plucked using a ‘perfect pick’ technique, where the leaf, bud and tender stem are carefully pinched together. The leaves are then blended with traditional bergamot oil to give a distinctive flavour of citrus with spicy floral notes. Fairtrade certified. Supplied in a box of 250 individually wrapped envelopes, this larger format is well suited to hotels, hospitality operators, offices and catering sites with regular high-volume requirements.
