About Rich tea

Rich Tea biscuits are a type of British snack, originating from the United Kingdom in the late 17th century. Commonly associated with traditional English tea culture, they are light, crisp, and slightly sweet. Typically made from wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oil, and a small amount of salt, Rich Tea biscuits are low in fat but often contain added sugar.

They are not a significant source of vitamins or minerals but serve as a quick energy boost for tea-time or snack occasions.
