Pukka Three Mint Tea: A Note From a Field

Ben from Pukka Herbs is 'our man in the field', and can currently be found in North India where he looks after our crops, and occasionally drinks a cup of delicious mint tea.

In fact, he's just sent us an email from the very field used to grow one of the three varieties of mint used in our delicious Three Mint Tea (maybe he wasn't in the field when he sent it – but you know what we mean). Here's his email:

“Dear All,

I have very much enjoyed receiving the Pukka emails and keeping in touch with news from HQ. From my side I thought you might enjoy the occasional photo from the field...

I have just come back from a trip to the mint fields to meet the farmers and help plan the next harvest (starting in May). Attached is one of my favourite pics from the last few days (well done to whoever picked the shade of green on the tea bag – it goes well with the field!). It’s a shame photos cannot capture smells – the air in this field is very, very fresh!

Congratulations to all on the Three Fennel award!

Ben”

Pukka Three Mint Tea contains peppermint leaf (34%), spearmint leaf (34%), fieldmint leaf (32%) and...absolutely nothing else whatsoever.

Sweet, intensely fresh with a delicately aromatic scent, this really is the best mint tea you will ever taste – if we do say so our humble selves. It's also perfect for soothing digestion.

Naturally caffeine free, 100% organically grown and ethically sourced – we know exactly where our teas come from (as I think we've proved in this article), and now so do you.

Pukka Wins Big At Natural Products!

Three Fennel wins at Natural & Organic Awards 2011

Pukka Herbs' Three Fennel tea has won Best New Organic Food Product at the Natural & Organic Awards 2011.

We're delighted one of our newest products has been recognised by one of the organic industry's leading authorities and award ceremonies.

Hosted in association with the Soil Association and Natural Products Magazine, since its creation fifteen years ago, the Natural & Organic Awards has become one of the benchmarks for quality and innovation in natural and organic food.

Launched in October 2010, Three Fennel is our deliciously sweet, aromatic and soothing tea that uses three varieties of fennel (in case you hadn't guessed!) to create an abundance of flavour that also helps calm and support digestion.

Naturally caffeine free, it's perfect for those cutting down on their caffeine intake, and as with all Pukka Herbs products, it's ethically sourced from the best suppliers.

Fennel has been used to support health for thousands of years; that's why we have created this unique blend to harness its incredible potential. That's also why we're very proud this special tea has received the attention it deserves.

Why we love Elderberry Syrup

The nights are drawing in and there is a definite chill in the air so we can almost say winter is here. And, when the clocks go back, our minds turn internally and think about looking after the body and defending our systems against the onslaught of the changing seasons.

When we are feeling chock full of cold, you will see us reaching for the Elderberry Syrup! This month, save £2 on a bottle, now only £8.95 

And it is true! Erin O'Connor told Celebs on Sunday how our Elderberry Syrup was first the first line of defence for her when the onset of a cold. 

Announcing the arrival of two great new teas!

We've been excited about this one for a while but yesterday saw the official PR launch for our new teas! We have Morning Time and Three Fennel to welcome into the Pukka Family!

Three Fennel is a deliciously sweet blend of organic sweet fennel, wild fennal and fennel leaf tea. All the ingredients in this soothing and calming tea are organically grown and ethically sourced; as with all of our teas! Particularly exciting is the inclusion of a lovely ingredient from here in the UK; organic fennel leaf!

Morning Time has been specifically blended to give you a caffeine free lift first thing in the morning and, with its rich flavours of Rooibos, honey bush and the kick of red ginseng, we think it is a great alternative to coffee. This lovely tea can be drunk with or without milk and helps kick start the day.

September has been a good month

Congratulations to our guys in Denmark, Naturesource, who picked up an award over there this month for Pukka Tea's where we won 'Best food product of the year'.
