Traditional British tea at its finest.
A bespoke blend created for the RAF. When only the best will do.
10% of the price you pay goes to the RAF Association Wings Appeal repaying just a little of what so many of us owe to so few; and to support the RAF museum.
Henrietta Lovell (Founder and Director of Rare Tea Co.) first created this tea for a wonderful man called Terry Clark, a veteran of the Battle of Britain. "It was a great honour and pleasure to meet him when I made a short film about tea and the RAF. It was an even greater honour to make tea for him."
Calming in times of national peril. Fortifying when courage is required.
RAF tea is a very traditional British tea of the like we haven't seen for many years. It comes from two beautiful, independent tea gardens; the Makaibari Estate in Darjeeling, India and Satemwa Estate on Thyolo Mountain in Malawi. Both are committed to creating the finest tea using sustainable practices to benefit both the land and the people who live on it.
These teas were made by farmers, not by vast agri-businesses. They were not processed by machine but crafted by skilled men and women. The producers go to extraordinary lengths to make this wonderful tea.
