Birchall

Shop the full Birchall tea range — including English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Green Tea, Peppermint, Redbush and more — all in Birchall's signature plant-based, plastic-free tea bags made from biodegradable renewable cellulose. Every bag is industrially compostable, Fairtrade certified and sourced from estates across East Africa, from Rwanda through to the Rift Valley in Kenya.

Birchall's flagship Great Rift blend has won a Great Taste Award for 13 consecutive years — the longest winning streak of any tea in the awards' history. Their Wiltshire factory generates more than twice the electricity it needs through on-site solar, feeding the surplus back into the National Grid. If sustainability and quality matter to your business or your customers, Birchall is one of the most credible tea brands you can stock. Order before 4:30pm Monday to Friday for same-day dispatch, with free next working day delivery on orders over £69.

Choosing the right Birchall tea for your setting

For cafés, restaurants and hospitality venues, the enveloped range — individually wrapped tea bags presented in elegant prism packaging — is the most popular format. They look premium at the table and align with sustainable credentials that customers increasingly notice and value. For offices and workplace kitchens, the tagged and everyday formats offer the same quality in a more practical, cost-efficient pack size.

For high-volume catering environments, the one-cup tea bag format (available in boxes of 1,100) keeps service fast and stock management simple. If you are building a full hot drinks offering, pair Birchall tea with hot chocolate powder, chai latte powder and coffee syrups — all available with the same next working day delivery.
