What is Pukka Tea?

Dive into the colourful world of Pukka and discover a stunning range of organic herbal tea blends that champion the therapeutic power of herbs. The Pukka story began when Sebastian Pole set out to create the perfect cup of herbal tea that not only tasted delicious, but also promoted conservation and supported health and wellbeing. When he met fellow herb enthusiast, Tim Westwell, the two joined forces to make the dream a reality.

The word ‘Pukka’ in Hindi means ‘real, authentic or genuine’ – everything that Pukka tea is. At the end of 2001, Pukka Herbs was born and has since become one of the world’s leading herbal tea brands.

Pukka’s herbal creations aim to introduce people to the beauty and healing power of nature through their extensive range of tea blends which revitalise the body and mind. Pukka’s business ethos is borne out of the four principles of ancient Ayurvedic medicine – Truth, Respect, Purity and Effort.

The Benefits of Herbal Tea

Herbal tea differs from regular tea in that it isn’t made from tea leaves but rather tisanes. Known for their medicinal benefits, tisanes are made from dried fruits, flowers, herbs or spices in water. There are many flavours of herbal teas, with a vast range of benefits. Some of the many benefits of some herbal teas include:

• Ginger tea: As an antioxidant, ginger is often used as a natural anti-nausea remedy and to treat various gastrointestinal ailments.
• Peppermint tea: This light tasting cleansing tea is the perfect end to any meal and also aids digestion.
• Chamomile tea: Long known to help calm and relax, other benefits include antioxidant properties and immune system support.
• Echinacea tea: Because Echinacea boosts the immune system, it can also help reduce the duration of the common cold.
