About Us

Cumbrian Tea was founded in 2020, and is blended especially to suit Cumbrian water. Made in the UK, our tea enhances the water quality of Cumbrian water, ensuring you get a great tasting brew. What makes us experts in this you ask? Keep reading to find out this and more about being 100% plastic free and our sustainable crdentials.

Why Cumbrian Tea?

You deserve a great cup of tea – and we know just how to make one!

With over 40 years of experience in the water softener industry, our chairman – founder of Harveys Water Softeners – knows a thing or two about water quality. We’ve put his expertise to great use when crafting our Ramblers Brew, ensuring every cuppa is spot-on.

Next, we enlisted our tea supremo, Ben, whose blending skills are second to none. He’s designed the perfect tea to complement Cumbrian water quality – and trust us, if Ben doesn’t know it about tea, it’s not worth knowing.

Finally, we produce our tea in Cornwall at our bespoke plastic-free factory, ensuring sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.

All these elements come together to create what we believe is the perfect brew – made especially for the people of Cumbria.

Rambler's Brew

Why is Cumbrian Tea Made Cornwall?

We began as the Cornish Tea & Cornish Coffee Co, creating teas and coffees crafted with care for the people of Cornwall – and beyond. They were such a hit that we thought, why stop there?
So, we started blending teas and coffees tailored to suit the water quality of other counties. While all our production currently happens in Cornwall (a £1 million factory in every county isn’t quite feasible yet!), we’re proud to keep everything made in the UK.

Who knows? One day, there might even be tea and coffee production in Cumbria!

Sustainability

Why choose plastic-free tea bags?

Did you know that by using non-plastic-free tea bags, you could be exposing each mug of tea to 11.5 million microplastics? Shocking, right?

That’s why we’ve made Ramblers Brew 100% plastic-free – from the tea bags to the packaging! Here’s how we do it:

Tea bags: Made with cornstarch-based paper.

Tea: Responsibly sourced for a brew you can feel good about.

Foil wrapper: Fully biodegradable.

Box: Crafted from recycled FSC-certified cardboard.

The result? A tea that’s recyclable, biodegradable, and as kind to the planet as it is to your taste buds. Because we believe in great taste without the waste.

The Future

This is just the beginning for Cumbrian Tea! As demand grows, we’re planning to expand our range – so watch this space.

And who knows? You might even spot Cumbrian Coffee hitting the shelves before long!
