THE BIG SECRET
IN TEA

Tea used to cost more than gold.

Now it's cheaper than a penny sweet.

That's the short story.

FULL STORY

here is spill

We drink 2 cups of tea a day. Every day.

Make it bold, not "meh". Thick, not thin. Full-bodied, not wishy washy. Golden, not grey.

Here is SPILL - it totally hits the spot.

We can tell you who's grown it.

And what they're paid (at least 50% more than Fairtrade).

In paper recycable pouches - minimal packaging.

There's
good plucking

& bad plucking

SPILL tea is from Rwanda where tea farmers have a formal plucking standard for selecting the best quality tea leaves. It's a serious business; the freshest two leaves and a bud. From the top of the bush. Not too big, not too small.

Farmers receive a premium for plucking tea to this very high standard. And they pluck by hand; hands see better than machines.

Your mug started off as a rock

The things we use everyday are rarely as ordinary as they look.

 

Look at the mug in your hand… where was it made? Could be China, or Portugal. Maybe the UK. Either way, its story began long before…

I'M A BIT UPSET

I only drink Yorkshire tea. I love it. I have it in my bag if I go to someone's house. But this is even better. I'm a bit upset.

strong and not bitter

I'm on my second cup and wow oh wow. It's strong but not bitter. Lovely bright colour. Familiar but somehow different. I had it with oat and then regular milk and both gorgeous.

banging!

Shock horror - the tea is banging.

HITS THE SPOT

You've hit the nail with this one. Other teas you can keep drinking and drinking and you're not satisfied but this really hits the spot.
