Pristine Heritage: The Great Rift Valley

The exceptional brightness and vibrant golden color of Great Rift are rooted in its premium, high-altitude origin. Birchall sources its leaves exclusively from the finest tea estates across East Africa, spanning from Rwanda to Kenya’s iconic Great Rift Valley—universally recognized as one of the world's premier tea-growing regions.

Nestled along the Congo-Nile Crest at equatorial altitudes between 1,460 and 4,500 meters above sea level, the tea bushes thrive in lush volcanic soil and heavy rainfall. Due to relatively low temperatures, the bushes grow at a slower rate, developing a greater, more robust flavor profile before being individually hand-picked. These estates operate with a deep social conscience, providing vital jobs and running a dedicated cooperative for over 2,600 local farmers.

Uncompromising Sustainability

Birchall ensures that world-class flavor works in perfect harmony with the planet. This blend is Rainforest Alliance Certified™ and blended in a 100% solar-powered factory in Wiltshire. The packaging is completely plastic-free:

Prism™ Tea Bags: Made from biodegradable plant starch and suitable for industrial composting.

Inner Bag: Crafted from renewable cellulose, certified for both home and industrial composting.

Outer Box: Made from responsibly sourced, FSC-certified board and fully recyclable.
