Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection, Four Different Flavours, 20 Tea Bags
Fennel and liquorice run through this range and both carry a real sweetness with no sugar behind them, which is why a Pukka carton drinks unlike most herbal boxes. Five bags of each of four blends is enough of any one to know whether a full box follows. Where people go wrong is the clock. Whole seeds and roots give up their character slowly, and a bag pulled at three minutes is a weaker drink than the same bag at six. Water off the boil, mug covered, and do not hurry it.
Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection, in brief.
Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection is a four-blend organic sampler in a twenty-bag carton with home compostable bags, five bags of each flavour, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection because Pukka blends are distinct enough from one another that buying a full box of the wrong one is an expensive mistake.
The current box holds four organic blends: Supreme Matcha Green (green tea with matcha, so it contains caffeine), Lemon, Ginger and a touch of Manuka Honey, Three Mint, and Night Time. The last three are caffeine-free herbal infusions. Check the carton you receive, since Pukka has changed the line-up between editions.
Two things separate this from the supermarket selection cartons it sits next to. The first is certification: every blend in the box is organic, which for a herbal tea matters more than it does for most groceries, because you are drinking an infusion of the dried plant itself rather than eating a processed part of it. The second is the bag. Home compostable is a stricter standard than industrially compostable, and it is the difference between a bag you can put on your own compost heap and one that needs a municipal facility to break down.

The Story Behind Pukka
Pukka is a British herbal tea house whose whole proposition is organic certification and whole-plant blending rather than flavouring, and its blends are typically built from more botanicals than a supermarket herbal carries. A four-flavour sampler is the most useful thing the range makes, because Pukka blends are not interchangeable: the difference between one of its mint blends and one of its ginger blends is far wider than the difference between two supermarket fruit teas, and a twenty-bag box of the wrong one is an expensive way to learn that.
The ingredient list for each blend, the certification marks, the allergen advice and the best-before date must all be read off the current UK pack rather than taken from this page.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
What You Are Actually Buying
- Count: twenty bags across four blends, so five of each.
- Organic: the pack name states it. What the certifying body is, and which marks appear, are on the carton rather than here.
- Home compostable bags: the pack name states this too, and it is the stricter of the two compostable standards: a home heap rather than an industrial facility.

The taste profile
How does it compare
Pukka blends are denser than most supermarket herbals and they reward patience in a way that surprises people used to a two-minute bag. Whole botanicals such as fennel seed, liquorice root and ginger give up their character slowly, and a cup pulled at three minutes is a genuinely different and weaker drink from the same bag at six.

Made with this tea
The Proper Pukka Mug
How to make The Proper Pukka Mug with Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection.
- 1 bag Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection
- 250ml just boiled water
- Pour 250ml of water straight off the boil over one bag of Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection, Four Different Flavours, 20 Tea Bags.
- Cover the mug with a saucer and leave it a full 6 minutes.
- Squeeze the bag gently against the side of the mug before lifting it out.
- Taste before adding honey; a liquorice or fennel blend will not need it.
What you'll end up with: Six minutes rather than three is the whole difference between a Pukka bag tasting like itself and tasting like nothing much.
The Four Blend Tasting Flight
How to make a Four Blend Tasting Flight with Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection.
- 4 bags, one of each blend
- 600ml just boiled water
- 4 small cups
- Brew one bag of each of the four blends in 150ml of just boiled water, all four at the same time, for 6 minutes.
- Lift the bags out together and taste them side by side rather than one after another on different days.
- Rinse your mouth with plain water between cups.
- Note which one you finish first; that is the box to buy twenty bags of.
What you'll end up with: The single most useful thing to do with a sampler, and the reason to buy one at all. Side by side you can tell the four apart; a week apart you cannot.
Herbal Cold Jug
How to make a Herbal Cold Jug with Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection.
- 4 bags Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection
- 1 litre cold water
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Ice to serve
- Drop 4 bags of Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection, Four Different Flavours, 20 Tea Bags into a litre jug of cold water.
- Cover and leave in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight.
- Lift the bags out and add a sliced lemon.
- Serve over ice; the jug keeps two days.
What you'll end up with: Use the mint or ginger blends for this rather than a floral one, which goes flat cold in a way the sharper blends do not.
Whole Botanical Honey Syrup
How to make Whole Botanical Honey Syrup with Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection.
- 3 bags of one blend
- 150ml just boiled water
- 3 tablespoons clear honey
- Brew 3 bags of a single blend from Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection, Four Different Flavours, 20 Tea Bags in 150ml of just boiled water for 12 minutes to make a concentrate.
- Lift the bags out and stir in 3 tablespoons of clear honey while the liquid is hot.
- Cool and keep in a jar in the fridge for a week.
- A spoonful in hot water makes a quick cup; a spoonful over yoghurt, porridge or poached fruit puts the same flavour on a plate.
What you'll end up with: Use three bags of one blend rather than three different ones, or the syrup ends up tasting of nothing in particular.
Two Blend Pot
How to make a Two Blend Pot with Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection.
- 2 bags, two different blends
- 500ml just boiled water
- A warmed teapot
- Warm the pot with boiling water and tip it out.
- Brew 2 bags of Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection, Four Different Flavours, 20 Tea Bags, one of each of two blends, in 500ml of just boiled water for 8 minutes.
- Lift both bags out before pouring the first cup.
- Pair across families: a ginger with a citrus, a mint with a camomile. Two fruit blends together mostly cancel out.
What you'll end up with: The pairings that work are the ones that contrast. A sampler box is the easiest way to find out which two go together.

Sourcing & blend. Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection, Four Different Flavours, 20 Tea Bags is put together by Pukka, a British herbal tea house built around organic certification and whole-plant blending rather than added flavouring. Its blends typically carry more botanicals than a supermarket herbal does, which is why they taste distinct from one another and why a four-flavour sampler is the sensible entry point to the range.
What's in Pukka Organic Herbal Tea Collection, Four Different Flavours, 20 Tea Bags, and what isn't:
- In: four organic blends, three caffeine-free herbal infusions and one green tea, in one twenty-bag carton, five bags of each, every blend with its own ingredient list on the pack.
- No added sugar in the cup: these brew to effectively nothing on their own. Any sweetness is natural to the botanicals, and with liquorice or fennel in a blend there can be a good deal of it.
- Home compostable bag: stated on the pack. Follow the disposal guidance printed on the carton alongside your local authority's advice.
