Birchall Chai Tea – 25 Enveloped Everyday Tea Bags

Discover a powerful, masterful interpretation of a classic Indian chai. Birchall Chai Tea is an exotic, spicy black tea that beautifully infuses the brightness and vitality of a supreme East African black tea with South African red rooibos and an eclectic, aromatic blend of herbs and spices. Carefully crafted by the fifth generation of the Birchall Graham family, this vibrant and uplifting all-day blend is designed to soothe and satisfy your senses throughout the day.

Pristine Origin and Ethical Partnerships

The signature backbone of this blend is sourced exclusively from the finest high-altitude tea estates across East Africa, grown close to the historic Virunga National Park. In this equatorial region, at altitudes of 1,460-4,500 meters above sea level, rich volcanic soils along the Congo-Nile Crest and high rainfall provide unparalleled growing conditions. The tea bushes thrive at a slower rate due to lower temperatures, developing a greater, more robust flavor profile before being individually hand-picked. These estates provide crucial, sustainable employment for the local community and run a successful co-operative for over 2,600 farmers.

A Rich Tapestry of Warm Spices

The exceptional African black tea is expertly matched with the subtle, sweet spices of cinnamon and cardamom, the sweet profile of red rooibos, and the comforting warmth of ginger. Infused further with liquorice root, anise, and cloves, it delivers a deeply satisfying cup bursting with spicy undertones. This versatile blend can be enjoyed beautifully on its own or enhanced with milk.
