Pukka
Organic herbal blends rooted in Ayurveda, Fair for Life.
Pukka is the Bristol-based organic herbal-tea brand that bridges Ayurvedic tradition with modern wellness. Every blend is certified organic, Fair for Life sourced, and built around named functional purposes (Night Time, Three Mint, Detox). Pukka was a certified B Corp until 2024, when it lost the certification after being integrated into Lipton Teas and Infusions.

4.7
Curator rating
Pukka is the herbal-tea brand I reach for when I want a properly built blend. Night Time is the bedtime cup and Three Mint the after-dinner one. Organic, Fair for Life, and the cup quality holds up across the entire range. The price reflects that, but at 30p a cup for proper organic herbal tea, it's fair.

About Pukka
Pukka Herbs made organic herbal tea feel considered rather than worthy. Sebastian Pole, a herbal-medicine practitioner, and Tim Westwell founded it in Bristol in 2001 around organic herbs grown well and traded fairly. The name means authentic, and the founding idea was that a blend should be composed the way a herbalist would compose it, each botanical chosen for what it contributes rather than padded with cheap filler. Pukka committed to organic certification across the whole range from the start and uses FairWild certification for sustainably wild-harvested botanicals. It was a certified B Corporation, but lost the certification in 2024, after it was integrated into Lipton Teas and Infusions.
The range is wide but tightly themed: Three Mint, Lemon, Ginger and Manuka Honey, the well-known Night Time and the turmeric-led wellbeing blends, all organic and built around named botanicals. Pukka is now part of Lipton Teas and Infusions, formerly Unilever's tea business. The organic sourcing and FairWild commitments were kept, but the B Corp certification was lost in 2024; the bags are cotton-stitched rather than plastic-sealed, and the supply chain carries genuine certification. For our shelf Pukka is the most polished and trustworthy name in functional herbal tea. The blends are properly constructed, the organic and fair-trade story holds up when you check it, and the depth of range means there is a sensible Pukka answer for almost any herbal occasion. It sits at the premium end of the herbal shelf and earns it, because the cup tastes designed rather than assembled and the certification work is real rather than implied.

Use fresh, just-boiled water for black teas (around 100°C) and slightly cooler water (75 to 85°C) for green and white teas, steeping 2 to 4 minutes to taste. See the teas.co.uk brewing calculator for the ideal temperature and time for each tea.
