Birchall Virunga Earl Grey is a fragrant single origin tea, sourced from the finest tea gardens in Rwanda, found close to the country's border with the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Virunga National Park. In this region, the tea bushes grow slowly in rich volcanic soil, at high altitude and relatively low temperatures, developing greater flavour before they are individually picked. Our plucked tea leaves are then blended with a traditional bergamot oil to create this famously fragrant afternoon tea classic. Our plant-based Prism™ Tea bags release the full flavour of our loose leaf tea and allow for the purest infusion. They're made from biodegradable plant starch and are commercially compostable so please dispose of them in your food waste bin. The bag you can see inside is made from renewable cellulose which means it's home and commercially compostable.
