- The Upside: The brand recognition and ethical credentials add value beyond the product itself.
- Consideration: It's a classic everyday blend; you'll need others for a full tea menu.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Willow Creek Farm Shop in Hereford decided to upgrade their café's beverage offering. They were using a generic catering tea and felt it didn't match the quality of their locally sourced food. They needed a recognisable, ethical brand that their discerning customers would appreciate.
"Our customers immediately noticed the difference. We've had so many positive comments about serving a 'proper brew', and they love that it's Fairtrade. It aligns perfectly with our farm-to-fork ethos and has definitely been a positive change."
Robert Evans – Café Manager
The switch resulted in a noticeable increase in hot drink sales and higher guest satisfaction scores for their café service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Best Practice for Storage
- Always keep the teabags in a sealed, airtight container after opening the main box.
- Store in a cool, dry cupboard or pantry to maintain freshness and flavour.
- Keep away from strongly scented items like coffee, spices, or cleaning products as tea can absorb odours.
- Use stock on a first-in, first-out basis to ensure you're always serving the freshest tea.
Serving the Perfect Cup
- Always use freshly drawn, boiled water for the cleanest taste.
- Warm the teapot or mug beforehand to keep the tea hotter for longer.
- Brew for 2-4 minutes depending on the desired strength – don't just guess!
- Always add milk after the tea has been poured, not before.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are Clipper teabags plastic-free?
A: Yes, Clipper teabags are made from a plant-based, biodegradable material. They are unbleached and non-GM.
Q: Is this tea caffeinated?
A: Yes, this is a traditional black tea blend and contains caffeine naturally.
Q: Are the teabags individually wrapped in paper envelopes?
A: No, this is a bulk catering pack. The 440 bags are packed loose in the box to reduce packaging waste, ideal for kitchen or canteen use.
Q: What does the blend taste like?
A: It's described as a refreshingly brisk, full-flavoured blend with a coppery golden colour. A classic 'everyday' tea that is robust and satisfying.
Q: Is this product suitable for vegans?

Q: Where is the tea sourced from?
A: The blend is sourced from the finest Fairtrade-certified estates in East Africa, India, and Sri Lanka.
Q: How should I store this large box of teabags?
A: For best results, decant a smaller amount into an airtight caddy for daily use and store the main box in a cool, dry place, well-sealed.
Q: What does 'unbleached' mean for a teabag?
A: It means the paper for the bag hasn't been treated with chlorine or other chemicals to make it white, resulting in a more natural, off-white colour and a purer brew.
The Clipper Commitment: A Better Brew for People and Planet
Choosing Clipper is about more than just stocking tea; it's about aligning your business with a legacy of ethical innovation. As the UK's first Fairtrade tea company, Clipper has spent decades proving that commercial success and corporate responsibility can go hand-in-hand. This commitment is evident in every unbleached, plant-based teabag they produce. For your business, this translates into long-term value. Serving a brand that customers know and trust for its principles builds a deeper loyalty than flavour alone. It's a small, consistent detail that reinforces your reputation for quality and care, showing that you consider the impact of every single item you stock. This isn't just a beverage; it's a conversation starter and a reflection of your own brand values.

We often see the Fairtrade logo, but what does it actually mean for the cuppa you serve? It’s not just a marketing buzzword; it’s a powerful promise. When you choose Clipper's Fairtrade tea, it guarantees that the farmers and workers who grew it received a fair, stable price for their crop, protecting them from volatile market fluctuations. On top of that, it means an extra sum, the Fairtrade Premium, is paid directly to their community. They then vote on how to invest it – perhaps in new school facilities, clean water projects, or better healthcare. Think of it as a built-in 'thank you' to the people behind the product. For your business, serving this tea turns a simple purchase into a story of positive impact, one your customers are part of just by enjoying their drink.
