WHY WE LOVE IT

This tea feels like a small, daily luxury — familiar, comforting, but made with far more care than most “everyday” blends. Spill work directly with smallholder farmers in Rwanda, choosing leaves for their depth and clarity, and paying well above fair price to support the communities who grow them.

The result is a cup with real character: rounded, smooth, and quietly robust. It brews beautifully whether you take it black or with milk, and there’s a purity to the flavour that makes it the kind of tea you instinctively reach for. It’s become a constant in our own kitchen — the kettle goes on, and this is the bag we look for.And truly, no hamper feels complete without a good tea.

Across our Signature, Classic, and Celebration boxes, it adds that gentle, grounding moment — a simple pleasure made with intention, and a reminder that the everyday things should still be most beautifully done.

SPILL tea is English Tea 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.

Spill Tea is on a mission to make your daily cuppa genuinely great — full-flavoured, ethically sourced, and made with complete transparency. These teabags use high-quality, loose-leaf grade tea sourced directly from smallholder farmers in Rwanda, who are paid significantly above the Fairtrade minimum price to ensure a better income and more resilient communities.

The result? A bold, bright, naturally rich tea with real depth — no dusty filler, no blandness, no compromises. Each bag brews a clean, balanced cup that’s perfect for your morning routine or an afternoon reset. Strong enough for milk, smooth enough to drink black.

Thoughtfully produced, beautifully boxed, and crafted by industry experts Lou & Sofia (formerly teapigs), this is the everyday tea upgrade you didn’t know you needed — ethical, delicious, and refreshingly honest.
