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.

Rugabano update June : tackling drought and buying your tea back

This week we spoke with Austin and Callixte - who look after the farmers who grow our tea. Here's the latest from Rugabano...

Rugabano update June : tackling drought and buying your tea back

The difference between black, green and herbals

“A cup of tea” used to mean one thing. Now, say yes to a cuppa — and you’re asked: “what kind?”

Not everything we call tea - is tea

The difference between black, green and herbals

Tea costs less than toothpaste

We don't often stop to think what we pay for the things we use everyday... We might know the price of a pack. But the cost per use?

A teabag v a squirt of toothpaste? Might surprise you...

Great tasting everyday tea, even without mill and sugar

Loving the taste! I take my tea without milk and sugar, so typical British tea is usually a no go. But this one has loads of taste!
Brilliant. Also I love that tin, great design.

The Perfect Brew

This is everything you need a tea to be. Pleasantly strong but without the horrible bitter aftertaste that many tea bags have. I am a total convert. Really love the storage tin too, a lovely, brilliantly branded bonus. Looks smart in my kitchen.

My Everyday Tea...

Almost a year ago, I was in London and I met Sofia -- she gave me a bag of SPILL tea as a parting gift and the rest, as they say, is history.

It's a staple here in Baltimore, Maryland and I can't sing SPILL's praises enough.

Simple strong tea that delivers in every way -- and the tin is just perfect in every way.

Now it's one of my favorite things to gift :)
