We set out to create some truly incredible tasting, smooth green teas. So we have selected the finest organic whole leaf green tea hand picked by Fairtrade growers around the world.
Each tea has been specially blended by our herbalist, Sebastian, using the whole leaf which is gently steamed and rolled to retain the fantastic delicate flavour. The methods used to prepare our organic Fairtrade green teas ensure the high levels of antioxidants are preserved. We've blended three great flavours: Green Tea, Mint Green Tea and Lemon Green Tea. Worthy of any tea break, any time!
The three varieties of green tea used in our unique ‘Green tea’ blend are sourced from Fairtrade growers in China, India and Vietnam.
FairtradeSencha green whole leaf tea comes from a pioneering project in China called Da Zhang Shan which means ‘Great Barrier Mountains’. It is the first EU organic and Fairtrade project in China. There are 15,000 smallholders, each owning a third of a hectare. The Sencha green tea is a traditional Chinese tea made by steaming and rolling that creates a flat whole leaf, brimming with flavour.
Oothu farmersOothu green whole leaf tea comes from an estate in India called Singampatti which means ‘Home of the Lion’. Some of the original pioneers of organic farming in India came from this estate. They use bio dynamic farming methods and are also Demeter certified because of the effective growing techniques used. The Fairtrade estate has a high social responsibility with schools, a hospital, crèches and special shops with discounted food.
Van ChanSuoi Gang green whole leaf tea comes from Van Chan in Vietnam. The green tea is sustainably collected by H’mong and Zhao tribes from wild tea trees that grow in certified organic rainforests. Tea collecting is a part of their ancient culture which existed even before tea drinking became popular. The trees are grown to full height and therefore have a higher antioxidant level. No cultivation is involved as the trees are part of the local ecosystem. Traditionally Suoi Gang is quite a strong local brew, however, there has been investment in this Fairtrade project which has helped to refine the flavour and create a delicious smooth tea.

Pukka Herbs is spreading the love again this summer!
In celebration of summer, herbal specialist Pukka Herbs is giving away a FREE box of organic Love Tea with every online order during July and a Pukka Love Mug for each online order over £35. Pukka has also joined up with www.mysinglefriend.com and is giving away 10 free memberships.
Renowned for warming the heart and lifting spirits, Love tea is a delicately sweet infusion of organic rose, chamomile and lavender, wonderful for the body, mind and soul.
In addition, Pukka is giving away a free box of Love tea with every Pukka Herbs’ remedy sold through independent retailers during the month of July.
Not only is summer the ideal season for spreading love, it’s also the time to pay extra attention to our skin in order for it to be healthy and glowing. This is a process that must begin from the inside according to Sebastian Pole, Ayurvedic practitioner and herbal director of Pukka Herbs. “Diet is, of course, crucial as what we put into our bodies affects both mental and physical function and the quality of skin will reflect the level of one’s internal health” he explains.
Sebastian also advocates embarking on a course of purification to clear excess toxins, increasing the ‘digestive fire’, and improving liver function, particularly for persistent skin complaints. For this, he recommends organic herbal supplements and remedies such as:
Organic Aloe Vera Juice (1 litre, £19.95 and 500ml, £12.95) Famed for its healing properties, Aloe Vera Juice brings beauty from the inside out. It has a cooling effect which helps to relieve any inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Aloe Vera is a cleansing, nourishing herb that helps to clear heat from the body, whilst supporting digestive problems and gentle detoxification of the liver.
Wheat Grass Juice (110g powder, £26.95) Rich in nutrients and chlorophyll, wheat grass juice naturally supports the body’s ability to cleanse itself. An incredibly nourishing food, it contains an easy to digest broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins and antioxidants. To ensure optimum potency, Pukka only use the concentrated juice from fresh wheat grass that has been cold dried using state of the art techniques.
Neem & Sarsaparilla (90 capsules, £15.75) This unique herbal remedy contains traditional Indian herbs which clears inflammatory heat and cleanses the blood. It is recommended for skin inflammation when there is redness, soreness, oozing and itching such as eczema, psoriasis, acne and rosacea.
Cleanse Tea (20 sachets, £2.09), a delicious blend of nettle, peppermint, fennel seed and Aloe Vera to purify the skin from within.
Pukka’s herbal teas and remedies have all been created by Sebastian using ancient Indian Ayurvedic healthcare principles.
