Pukka Herbs is a well-known British brand specializing in organic herbal teas and dietary supplements. Founded in 2001 in Bristol, United Kingdom, by Sebastian Pole and Tim Westwell, the brand was built on the principles of Ayurveda and holistic living. The name "Pukka" is derived from a Hindi word meaning "authentic" or "genuine," reflecting the brand's commitment to sourcing high-quality organic ingredients.

While the herbs used in the blends are sourced globally—often from sustainable and fair-trade farms in India and beyond—the final blending and manufacturing of the tea bags and boxes typically take place in the United Kingdom. This ensures that the brand maintains strict control over its production quality standards and organic certifications.

In 2017, Pukka Herbs was acquired by the consumer goods giant Unilever. Under Unilever’s ownership, the brand expanded its international footprint significantly while maintaining its B Corp status and commitment to environmental causes. More recently, in 2021, Unilever moved its tea business under a standalone entity called ekaterra, which was subsequently sold to CVC Capital Partners. Today, Pukka continues to operate as a premier herbal tea brand with a focus on wellness and sustainability.
