08 July 2009 - Bristol-based Pukka Herbs today announced that Tesco is to stock three of its recently launched herbal teas. The supermarket has been a strong supporter of Pukka since shortly after its launch in 2001 and has contributed to the companys significant success.
Three Mint, Three Ginger and Night Time teas have joined Pukkas overall best seller, Detox Tea, which has been listed for four years at Tesco and was three times gold award winner at the Great Taste Awards. These three new organic herbal teas have been created by Sebastian Pole, Pukkas herbal director and co-founder. Offering unique tastes to consumers, they are expected to achieve the same strong run rate as Detox Tea.
The companys herbal credentials and ethical ethos means that its products are becoming increasingly popular. Distribution for Pukka Herbs teas is now extensive, with stockists including Sainsburys, Waitrose, Morrisons, Fresh & Wild, Holland & Barrett and several hundred independent health stores across the UK. Pukka also has an established and growing number of international stockists.
Sebastian Pole said: Consumers have developed a real taste for our teas. I love developing new blends and it appears that once our customers have tried them, they consistently come back for more. Given that our teas are absolutely unique, weve continued to see strong sales during a difficult period for the sector.
Tesco has been stalwart supporter of our brand and we are very confident that our relationship will continue to be of great mutual benefit.
