British Airways will begin serving Birchall teas on flights and in lounges starting on 1 May 2025. The brand will replace Twinings, providing options such as English Breakfast, Decaffeinated, Earl Grey, and Camomile.
Passengers in First and Club Europe will have access to Birchall’s award-winning Great Rift English Breakfast tea.
The airline’s transformation programme includes introducing prestige cuvée English sparkling wines alongside the new tea offerings.
BA has served over 37 million cups of tea in the air last year and aims to champion British sourcing in their product selections.
Calum Laming shared, “Last year, we served more than 37 million cups of tea in the air, and more than two million cups in our lounges globally, so we knew that selecting our newest tea partner was a decision we had to get right.” He also remarked, “We’re proud to be continually leading the way in championing British originality, and it was important to us that our tea not only ticks the taste box, but also showcases the quality and talent we have on our doorstep here.”
