Ahmad Tea has unveiled its Winter Wonder Christmas collection, made up of five gifts with standard prices on the company’s website starting at £3.99.

Two of the products are tree baubles, each holding 25 grams of tea: one with loose Earl Grey, the other with English Tea No.1, both at £3.99. The largest offering is the Tea Gift Caddy, a tin with 72 teabags in nine blends, at £16.99. The Limited Edition Caddy contains 40 teabags of four teas and costs £10.99, while the Selection Pack brings together 30 teabags of English Breakfast, Cinnamon Haze and Chai Spice at £5.99.

The baubles and caddies can be reused once the tea is finished. The collection was announced in early November, ahead of the holiday shopping period.

Ahmad Tea, one of the British tea brands with a global presence, has won the 2026 Grocer Gold Award in the “Social Impact Initiative of the Year” category. The award recognizes the company’s “Hand-Picked Profit Shared” program, through which it redistributes a share of profit directly to the workers who pick its tea leaves — a rare practice in an industry where margins usually flow to middlemen and retailers rather than primary producers.

The Grocer Gold distinction, awarded by British trade publication The Grocer, is one of the most respected honors in UK food retail and places growing emphasis on sustainability and supply-chain ethics criteria.

Around the same time, the tea industry marked a similar moment: India’s Luxmi Tea received a national honor for the workplace safety standards implemented on its own plantations.

The trend points to a tea industry increasingly attentive to the conditions of upstream workers, not just to the quality of the final product.
