Description

Birchall Loose Leaf Tea – Virunga Afternoon Tea (250g) is a bright, elegant single-origin black tea grown in the high-altitude tea gardens of Rwanda, near the Virunga National Park. A Great Taste Award winner and fully Rainforest Alliance Certified™, this refined afternoon tea offers an uplifting and refreshing flavour.

Carefully hand-plucked to Birchall’s ‘perfect pick’ standard, each tea leaf, bud, and tender stem is selected for quality. The slow growth at high altitude and cool temperatures allows the tea to develop its signature yellow-gold colour, exceptional brightness, and clean, refreshing taste.

Tea & hot chocolate for trade — quick answers

Will this work with our machine?

Most of the range is machine-independent — kettle, boiler or steam wand. If you're pairing powders with a bean-to-cup or instant ingredient machine, call the trade team and we'll confirm compatibility before you order.

How do I work out cost per serve?

Divide the pack price by the serves per pack shown in the description — or use our cost-per-cup calculator to model the full drink including milk and cup.

Is there a minimum order?

No — order single packs or by the case. Tea, hot chocolate, coffee and syrups can travel in one order, delivered together to UK mainland addresses.

Can we taste before switching?

Yes — request a trade sample pack and tell us what you serve today; we'll match a selection to your menu and volumes.
