Organic Caffeine-Free Herbal Tea

Pukka is a fairly well-known organic herbal tea brand in the UK. Its teas incorporate the concepts of traditional Indian medicine—Ayurveda—and are dedicated to promoting the natural integration of herbs and people, bringing purification and soothing to body and mind.

Because Pukka's teas contain no caffeine, they lack the stimulating effect caused by caffeine and instead offer a sense of calm and tranquility. On their official website, you can also see how they share ways to relax and relieve stress with Pukka tea, and they provide various tea usage recipes for a deeper experience.

In addition to this unique Indian therapy, what Pukka is most praised for is its organic philosophy. All teas are made with 100% organic ingredients, and each package bears the Soil Association certification mark, allowing traceability back to the ingredient source and striving to improve the impact on the planet at its roots.

Not only does Pukka contribute to the planet through its ingredients, it also emphasizes reducing carbon footprint. The tea packaging is fully recyclable, the packaging ink uses plant-based ink, and the tea bags themselves can be placed directly into food recycling. The brand also constantly calls on consumers to boil only the amount of water needed each time to reduce energy consumption, making it a brand truly committed to harmonious coexistence between people and nature.

Tea Choices

Pukka's teas are mostly organic and caffeine-free, suitable for both adults and children, making it a brand perfect for the whole family to share. Here, the author has selected several common and popular teas to introduce to everyone. However, Pukka's teas are generally on the light side. If you prefer a stronger taste, it is recommended to extend the brewing time by 2 to 3 minutes, or reduce the amount of water used.

After dinner

Just like the name of this tea, it is very suitable for drinking after a meal. It is sweet even without adding sugar. The aroma of fennel and cardamom rises with the steam, soothing a stomach that has just eaten its fill, relaxing both mind and body, and bringing the meal to a perfect close. Recommended hot only!

Chamomile, vanilla & Manuka honey

Manuka Honey Chamomile Vanilla Tea. Although chamomile makes up the largest proportion, the brewed tea unexpectedly does not have as strong a floral scent as imagined. Instead, the aroma of fennel and Manuka honey accents the entire cup, complementing the chamomile floral note and bringing out the fresh character unique to herbal tea. It belongs to the higher tier of chamomile tea formulations.

Feel new (Detox)

I would translate it as "Fresh Start," though some abroad also translate it as detox tea. Originally named Detox, it was recently changed to Feel new. The new name gives a sense of rebirth, very close to the experience this cup of tea brings. After drinking it, it feels as if you have detoxed, with your whole body feeling refreshed. Fennel seeds carry a unique sweetness, making it suitable for a cup in the early morning to enjoy the freshness of the day.

Elderberry & Echinacea

Elderberry and Echinacea Tea. The aroma of elderberry has a subtle resemblance to Muscat grapes, and there is also a note of blackcurrant, with the sweet-and-sour quality of berries, plus a slight citrus essential oil note that is not heavy but still noticeable. Foreign consumers quite enjoy the flavor of echinacea, and Taiwanese consumers may find it worth a try.

Lemon, ginger & Manuka honey

Manuka Honey Lemon Ginger Tea. Although it contains ginger, it is not spicy as imagined; instead, it draws out the sweetness of Manuka honey. Lemon brings a fresh citrus fragrance, and the overall feel of the cup is like warm winter sunlight—warming but not overpowering.

Love

Some also translate it as Love Tea, and it is one of Pukka's widely known blends. The flavor of licorice is somewhat stronger than in other varieties, with the aroma of rose faintly within. After drinking, the scent of rose and elderflower remains in the mouth, giving a very gentle feeling. The brewed color is very beautiful, like mixed colors, suitable for a cup in the afternoon with Western-style pastries.

Night time

Goodnight Tea. It smells somewhat unpleasant, like houttuynia, but tastes very good. In addition to tea bags, there are also capsule versions, marketed for helping people sleep better, and it indeed feels very soothing to the spirit. The aroma of lavender makes you even more relaxed. Oat flower is usually used in aromatherapy, and placing it in a tea bag does not reduce its effect, bringing a calming sensation.

Relax

Relax Tea. This one tastes somewhat similar to Chamomile, vanilla & Manuka honey, but the flavor of fennel seeds is stronger. Compared with the Manuka honey sweetness of the previous one, this one instead features the sweetness of fennel seeds, and also carries the sweetness of licorice, making the whole cup sweeter and more layered.

Revitalise

Revitalise Tea. As soon as the tea bag is opened, cinnamon can be smelled. Cinnamon is very prominent as the main character and is eye-catching. When hot water is poured in, the aroma spreads even more widely, and on the palate it is just as expected: the cinnamon fragrance fills the mouth, and the aroma of ginger rushes out along with it. I dare say this one is very unsuitable for drinking at night before bed, yet it could not be more suitable for a cup when waking up early in the morning. All the senses can be awakened by this cup of tea.

Supreme matcha green

Super Matcha Green Tea. If you look at the name and expect this to be a rich, thick matcha, then you may be disappointed. It is not as impressive as the name suggests, and it drinks very light, not heavy at all. As a green tea, it is not bad, with a strong fresh feeling and an aroma like being in a tea garden, but as a matcha it is a failure.

There cinnamon

It smells super strong, but drinking it is not stimulating. The aroma of cinnamon is heavy, with notes of cassia bark and a hint of cream. The sweetness of licorice slightly neutralizes the heaviness of the cinnamon, and the sweetness instead makes the cinnamon tea more gentle. But compared with it, I still prefer Revitalise, which has more layers.
