Series 3, episode 9 of the Sustainability Champions Podcast! 

Introducing Daniel Graham, Managing Director of Birchall Tea, a company that specialises in making fine teas with a focus on sustainability using plant-based tea bags. 

For those who watch our podcast weekly, you will know that our Host, Daniel Hartz, loves, as the British call it - a cuppa. 

In fact, per episode, Daniel will go through an entire pot of tea - so approximately 4 cups per episode. 

So when the opportunity came about to interview a tea company, with sustainable practices and infrastructure, we (Daniel) were extremely excited!

A company that’s been in the tea trade since 1872, Birchall Tea is an award winning, family-run business located in England. What makes Birchall tea stand out from their competitors is their commitment to sustainability - and this is evident in their factory, which is powered 100% by 482 solar panels - which produces twice as much electricity than their factory needs, meaning they give a lot of the energy back to the grid!

What’s more - Birchall Tea has become the first tea company in the world to officially join the UN’s Climate Neutral Now initiative, which invites organisations to work towards global climate neutrality by addressing their own climate footprint. 

Even down to their tea - Birchall Tea have created a biodegradable tea bag, which is plastic free. So with 165 million cups of tea enjoyed in the UK each year, Birchall Tea are on a mission to make sustainable practices at the core of their operations. 

Guilt-free sipping.

In this week’s podcast, we learn more about Birchall Tea and their approach to being more sustainable. 

This week’s podcast guest features Daniel Graham from Birchall Tea.
