The weather has officially turned; it’s that time again when the chunky knits come out, the candles are lit, and everyone seems to be coming down with something! Whether it’s a sniffly cold or that run-down feeling that hits once the temperatures drop, this is definitely the season where self-care needs to be top of your list and for me, that always starts with a cup of tea.
If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll already know that I’m a huge herbal tea lover. I easily drink up to three cups a day (sometimes more if I’m home all day working on content or writing!) so when I get the chance to try new blends, I’m all in. So you can imagine my excitement when I found out that Birchall Tea, the same award-winning British tea brand known for their traditional black teas served on British Airways and stocked in Waitrose; also has an incredible range of herbal teas perfect for the colder months.
Wellness in Every Cup
Birchall’s herbal infusions aren’t just about keeping you warm they’re full of natural goodness designed to support your wellbeing and boost your immune system all winter long.
Their Red Berry & Flower infusion is a must-try if you love fruity teas. It’s crafted with elderberry and hibiscus flower, both of which are packed with antioxidants. Elderberries have long been known to help reduce inflammation and may even shorten the duration of colds, while hibiscus brings a natural hit of vitamin C, ideal for when your immune system needs that extra boost.
If you’re more of a spicy and soothing tea drinker, then Lemongrass & Ginger will be your new obsession. The blend combines warming ginger (a hero for easing sore throats and colds) with calming lemongrass, known for its antioxidant properties and ability to ease congestion. It’s that perfect pick-me-up when you’re feeling under the weather.
And for those of us who still crave that “proper” tea taste but want something with a wellness twist Birchall’s Virunga Chai is a total game changer. It’s a gorgeous mix of black tea, rooibos, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, orange peel, ginger, and star anise. Honestly, it’s like a hug in a mug.
More Herbal Goodness to Explore
The range doesn’t stop there. Birchall also offers Chamomile, Redbush, and Peppermint, plus some stunning green teas blended with Jasmine, Peach, and Mint. Whether you need something calming before bed, refreshing after lunch, or uplifting in the morning, there’s a blend to match every mood and moment.
A Brand That Cares
Beyond the delicious flavours, what makes Birchall stand out is their commitment to sustainability. Their teas are produced in a 100% solar-powered factory in Wiltshire, using biodegradable tea bags, and they’re fully Rainforest Alliance Certified™. As someone who’s becoming more mindful of the brands I support, I love seeing companies like Birchall doing things the right way with both people and the planet in mind.
So if you’re ready to make this cosy season a little more comforting and a lot more delicious, I definitely recommend checking out Birchall’s herbal collection. It’s the perfect excuse to slow down, unwind, and sip your way to wellness.
