More About This Tea

Bold (not Meh). Full bodied (not wishy washy). Thick (not thin) Golden (not grey). Totally hits the spot.

IT’S DOWN TO THE LEAF

Rwanda has big hills, volcanic soil, tropical sun, big showers. These are the things that make great tasting tea. 

Plus, tea farmers in Rwanda have a formal plucking standard; it’s a serious business. The freshest 2 leaves and a bud. From the top of the bush. Not too big, or too small. Farmers receive premium for plucking tea to this very high standard. And they pluck by hand; hands see better than machines.

Origin

Rwandan tea is a tea taster's secret. Rwanda grows just 1% of the worlds tea, we think it's the best 1%

Elevation

Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills. The higher the elevation, the slower the tea grows and the deeper the flavour of the tea.

Process

This is a black tea so once the leaves are plucked and dried, they are left to ferment or oxidise - this means the air gets to the leaves and turns them black. The oxidation is what gives black tea it's deep flavour and colour perfect with milk.

Taste, Appearance

This tea really hits the spot and tastes exactly how you want an everyday tea to taste.

Absolutely Brilliant

Ordered a couple bags of tea for my mum for Mother’s Day and she absolutely loves them!! I ordered using a discount code which I was struggling to add to my basket, so I reached out to the SPILL team who were able to helpfully guide me through the order all within a couple of hours!! No doubt I will be ordering again soon :)

A cuppa well of goodness

Bought it at Waitrose in Peterborough,
On opening the packet , oh my what an uplifting and wonderful aroma of the black teabags were giving.
A giving of freshness !
No mess, and powder scattered inside
the bag.
I had putted two teabags in my cup with no milk and sugar.
Taste wise very nice and bold , just perfect.
Loving this black tea definitely hits the spot !
Thank you to the farmers in Rwanda , for your black tea harvest work and Spill Tea too! Looking forward buying it again , money very well spent and for a good cause too !

The perfect tea

I was really excited to try Spill. I’ve read about the background to how it’s sourced and carefully made. The tea lives up to everything it promises - a beautiful balance of subtle taste and strength. The perfect tea for breakfast or an afternoon pick me up., and it goes very well the homemade biscuits I made. Yum.

Lovely brew

I bought these teabags for my husband as a gift and he is loving them and enjoying the ritual of tea making more as each cup feels special. The ethics behind it are what led me here and he said the tea is delicious.
