Birchall Virunga™ Earl Grey is a scented pure origin tea, sourced from the finest tea gardens in Rwanda. It is blended with a traditional bergamot oil to give a distinctive flavour of citrus, with spicy floral notes.
Available in Loose Leaf and Prism Bags
Description
A bright and fragrant single origin Earl Grey, grown in Rwanda, 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, at high altitude and relatively low temperatures, developing greater flavour before they are individually picked. The leaf, bud and tender stem are carefully pinched together in a ‘perfect pick’, and then masterfully blended with bergamot to create this iconic afternoon tea. Enjoy on its own, or with a slice of lemon. Birchall VirungaTM Earl Grey is fully Rainforest Alliance Certified and produced in our 100% solar powered factory in Wiltshire using biodegradable tea bags.
Working with our partners to create better prices, decent working conditions, a fairer deal for farmers and sustainable farming.
