About Birchall Tea
Birchall Tea is a fifth-generation, independent, family-run British tea company with a legacy stretching back over 150 years. Founded in 1872 by Captain Birchall George Graham, the company continues to be driven by the same passion for quality and craftsmanship that defined its beginnings. Today led by Daniel Graham, Birchall upholds the family tradition of blending only the finest teas, meticulously selecting just the top 1% from over 5,000 samples tested each week. This commitment to excellence has made Birchall the UK's most awarded tea brand for taste, winning prestigious Great Taste Awards for 14 consecutive years and accumulating an impressive 78 awards in total. Birchall leads the industry in environmental innovation. The company operates the UK's first and only fully solar-powered tea factory, generating twice the energy it consumes. It became the first tea company in the world to achieve the Carbon Neutral International Standard and to join the UN's Climate Neutral Now initiative. Every Birchall tea is 100% carbon neutral with plastic-free biodegradable prism teabags. As one of the largest exporters of black tea from East Africa, Birchall sources from the finest estates across the continent. In a major 2025 development, British Airways selected Birchall to replace Twinings as its global tea provider, serving over 37 million cups annually on long-haul flights and in lounges worldwide.
