Description
Birchall English Breakfast 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 strong, full-flavoured breakfast tea 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 tea factory in Wiltshire is the UK’s first fully solar-powered tea factory, generating twice the electricity it needs and putting power back into the National Grid. All Birchall tea bags and packaging are plant-based and plastic-free — a meaningful point of difference for businesses that care about sustainability credentials.
Product Overview
Birchall English Breakfast is sourced from lush estates across East Africa — from Rwanda to Kenya’s Rift Valley — giving the blend its exceptional brightness, golden colour and strong, refreshing flavour. It is Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance Certified, and the tea bags are plant-based and plastic-free. 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.
