LIPTON Teas and Infusions

#DidYouKnow herbs and spices may help manage the symptoms of type 2 diabetes? To explore these possibilities, the Pukka Herbs team was thrilled to join the United Through Diabetes event in Warwickshire, UK, sharing herbal wonder with the Diabetes Research and Wellness Foundation. It was an inspiring day, brimming with opportunities to speak to people with diabetes, healthcare professionals, and researchers. What’s more, Marion Mackonochie, LIPTON Teas and Infusions Herbal Science Manager, presented a session with Dr Merlin Willcox from the University of Southampton on the evidence for herbs in addressing type-2 diabetes. Truly refreshing insights on how to support happier, healthier lives! And, of course, all our Pukka superstars did a fantastic job: sharing expert advice on the benefits of herbs and spices, useful recipes, and delicious herbal blends. Take a look at our team in full flow… #liptonteasandinfusions #pukka #tea #UK #publichealth #teascience #diabetes

Can you imagine 15,000 football fields? That’s the amount of land in Kenya and Rwanda where we’ve helped eliminate the use of pesticides!   How did we do it? By co-creating Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods – smart techniques that control pests while protecting the planet and consumer health.   For example, instead of using chemical fungicides on fungal pathogens, we’ve promoted the use of friendly soil fungi (‘Trichoderma’) to outcompete the nasty ones. Now that’s some serious creativi-tea!   Having brewed up a wealth of expertise on this topic, we’re now sharing it throughout the teas and infusions industry to help shape a pesticide-free future.   What’s your nature-positive way of dealing with garden pests?

#DidYouKnow matcha tea was once used as currency? That’s right! During China’s Tang Dynasty (7th-10th centuries CE), people found a better way to transport green tea: mixing it with salt water and compressing the leaves into ‘bricks’. The matcha was so highly prized that tea bricks were used as currency across Asia – in some places, until the 20th century. Today, we value matcha for its distinct flavour – but did you know matcha also offers health benefits. Swipe below to dive into the marvels of matcha! #liptonteasandinfusions #lipton #pukka #matcha

Black tea and a dash of milk is a classic combination. Now PG Tips has teamed up with Oatly to encourage tea lovers to try it with their delicious dairy alternative made from oats.

#DidYouKnow 99% of our teabags in Europe are entirely plant-based? This progress takes us closer to our goal of making all our teabags compostable no matter what composting options you have where you live. In fact, Pukka Herbs’ fully paper-based teabags are great on your home compost heap! And as we continue investing in new packaging designs and techniques, we’re working to achieve industrial or home “compostability” for all our iconic brands. With initiatives like this, we’re creating value for all – and driving the next generation of sustainable materials. #liptonteasandinfusions #lipton #PGTips #pukka #teabags #packaging #sustainability #tea

Europe’s top heart doctors are recommending flavonoids to boost cardiovascular health – and tea is one of the top sources in our diet! The European Society of Cardiology, a leading authority in cardiovascular medicine, has included flavonoid intake in their 2024 guidelines for people with heart disease. By translating robust clinical evidence into practical dietary recommendations, this updated advice helps medical professionals share informed guidance with patients – and shape better health outcomes for all. “This is a pivotal moment,” explains Joy Dubost PhD RD LDN, our Global Director for Health Science. “Healthcare professionals can now confidently advise patients on the benefits of incorporating flavonoid-rich foods like unsweetened tea into their diets, thereby enhancing preventive strategies against cardiovascular diseases.” And tea tastes great too, of course!

Tea can grow in many places but, to thrive, the plant needs lots of sunshine and rain. That’s why certain regions are simply tea-riffic for cultivation. Today, more than 40 countries produce tea at scale, each offering a range of distinct flavour profiles. Can you guess which country provided more than half of our tea last year?   Stay tuned, because we’ll spill the tea next week! #liptonteasandinfusions #lipton #PGTips #tea #blendingbrilliance
