Description
Birchall Great Rift Prism tea bags are supplied in a box of 200, with each tea bag individually wrapped in its own envelope. Every bag comes with string and tag. The UK’s most awarded tea — Great Rift has won a prestigious Great Taste Award for a record 15 consecutive years, making it a strong choice for businesses that want to offer a genuinely premium tea experience.
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.
Product Overview
Great Rift is Birchall’s flagship breakfast blend, sourced exclusively from estates across East Africa — from Rwanda through to the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, where the finest teas are found. The blend is fully Rainforest Alliance Certified and delivers an unrivalled bright, brilliant flavour with a strong, full-bodied character.
These tea bags use Birchall’s Prism™ format — a pyramid-style tea bag that gives the tea more space to brew. Water flows more freely around the leaves, producing a fuller flavour and a more premium cup compared to a standard flat tea bag. Each Prism bag is individually wrapped in its own envelope, keeping the tea fresh and making it easy to serve cleanly in hotels, offices and hospitality settings.
