Frequently Asked Questions
What are their teabags made from?
Pukka tea bags are made from wood pulps and Acaba (Musa textilis) also known as Manila hemp. The string is made from certified organic cotton. And they are staple-free. They are 100% biodegradeable and/or recyclable.
Why are Pukka teabags wrapped in individual sachets?
They wrap their organic herbal blends in a sachet because they want to lock in the freshness and protect the high essential oil content which gives their teas such a special taste. Individually wrapped sachets protect the tea bags from light and moisture which degrade the herbs, causing the tea to lose its depth of flavour and herbal health benefits. The sachet also prevents any cross contamination of flavour or smell with other nearby foods
Why do Pukka add Licorice to the tea blends?
Their guiding philosophy is to connect people with the power of plants to help them live healthier and happier lives. They do this by creating unique herbal tea blends using the finest grade organic herbs with the intention of making delicious tasting teas that also help you feel good. They take this privileged position of helping people make healthy choices for themselves and the planet very seriously indeed.
Sweetness is just one of the six essential tastes that their Herbsmith Sebastian considers when creating their blends, carefully balancing the therapeutic effect of their teas with the best taste experience. They often add Fennel or Licorice to their teas to sweeten them. Licorice, for example, is a magical plant that not only has 50 times the natural sweetness of refined sugar but it is also an incredible herb. It is calming and nourishing, and its silky nature helps soothe your whole system. It also acts as a good harmoniser of the other herbs in the blend, bringing out their best qualities so you get the most balanced cup of tea.
Can I drink Pukka teas that contain licorice if I have high blood pressure?
All problems ever associated with licorice have been from eating excessive licorice candy sweets. There is a consensus amongst experts that a safe level of licorice consumption for most people is at least 2.5g per day. The ‘culprit’ is considered to be one of licorice’s compounds known as Glycyrrhizic acid (GA), that can cause renal sodium retention leading to increased blood pressure in some individuals. The ‘safe’ amount of 2.5g per day is arrived at by determining that consuming about 100mg/day of GA avoids any blood pressure effects.
As the highest percentage of licorice in their teas is 40% (Peppermint and Licorice tea) with 800mg licorice per bag, you can safely drink 3 cups of Peppermint and Licorice per day as it delivers under 100mg GA (96mg GA). The second highest percentage of licorice in our teas is 25% (Licorice and Cinnamon tea) and the herbs in the teabag weigh a total of 2g. All of their other teas have less licorice.
Are their teabag & sachets recyclable?
Their tea bags are compostable but at the moment their tea sachets (the envelopes that hold the bag) have a Polyethylene (PE) lamination and for this reason they are currently unable to be recycled. They are however on a quest to find a mass produced fully biodegradable and/or compostable sachet that will protect the quality of their organic herbs. They hope to have news on this soon.
What is the flavoruing in the tea and why do they have to label it?
It is essential oil and is made to conform to flavouring legislation. Also in line with Soil Association standards, if the substance is made and used as flavouring it must be labelled as flavouring on the ingredient list. Their essential oil flavour is made in Germany and is not an extract or anything else. It is a purely natural part of the food process - essential oil sprayed onto different substances to make an essential oil flavouring.
What is the calories content of their teas?
If you're thinking that drinking Pukka teas might have an adverse effect on your diet then think again - the calorie content of the teas is very low. They don't list the calorific/nutritional values of their teas on the packaging as it is not a legal requirement within the United Kingdom or European Union. It would also cost us quite a bit to do it and that would eventually be passed on to customers which we'd rather avoid. So hopefully 'very low' should cover it.
Are all Pukka teas caffeine free?
All their teas are naturally caffeine free except for:
- All Green Teas: Clean Green, Serene Jasmine Green, Supreme Matcha Green, Cool Mint Green
- All Black Teas: Elegant English Breakfast, Lively English, Breakfast, Gorgeous Earl Grey
- Revitalise (contains 8% green tea)
- Original Chai (contains 20% black tea)
- Star Anise and Cinnamon (contains 8% green tea)
- Licorice and Cinnamon (Contains Cocoa)
Are Pukka teas Kosher Certified?
All Pukka teas are kosher certified by the Othrodox Union.
