Pukka Herbs logo
  INTRODUCTION

Pukka Herbs began in 2001 after Sebastian Pole met Tim Westwell. Sebastian was an ambitious herbalist who wanted to change the world through introducing people to the power of herbs. Tim had been looking to step out of the corporate world to find a way to combine his passion to contribute to a more positive world with his business skills. They quickly realised they had a shared vision. Today over a million cups of Pukka tea are drunk every day. Pukka also makes a range of supplements using the same pharmacopeia grade, ethically traded organic herbs used in teas.

Pukka Herbs currently (at October 2016) has 40 blends of tea. These include a ranges of green teas using matcha, herbal teas and speciality black teas.

Pukka blends its teas not just for taste, but also for wellbeing. All teas are blended using the principles of Ayurveda, an ancient Indian holistic philosophy that shows how to live a healthy, wholesome and more fulfilled life by balancing mind, body and spirit.

As well as being organic, Pukka has also worked hard to pioneer new ways to ensure that the organisation is making a genuine contribution to global equality, poverty and the environment. For example, Pukka is working with FairWild guaranteeing that the plants used from the wild have been harvested in a sustainable way and that the collectors have been paid fairly for their work. All Pukka?s teas are now certified as ?fair? through a new fair trade scheme called ?Fair for Life?. Fair for Life is one of the fairest, most equitable and transparent fair trade systems in the world. It guarantees that everyone who Pukka touches, from crop to cup across the globe, is treated fairly, equitably and transparently. And as a member of 1% for the Planet, Pukka gives 1% of its turnover to support environmental causes.

Quooker UK Ltd. logo
  INTRODUCTION

Quooker - the only 100 degrees celsius boiling water tap in the UK.

A true revolution


The new kitchen must-have. Quooker: the tap that immediately dispenses boiling water. Tap on the worktop, tank underneath. A 100% Dutch invention taking over the world.

You can choose between a separate boiling water tap with accompanying mixer tap, or the new Quooker Fusion: a single tap for hot, cold and boiling water. Ultra-safe, super-efficient and available in eight tap designs and three finishes.

And if you thought that the Quooker was wasteful, think again: the patented high-vacuum insulation ensures that the Quooker's standby usage is just 3 pence a day. For even more efficiency, choose a COMBI tank, a single, amazingly economical way to produce both hot and boiling water. No kitchen is complete without its Quooker.

Save energy and water

The Quooker's perfect high-vacuum insulation means that it only costs 3 pence a day to have boiling water at hand, exactly when you want it.  What's more, the Quooker ensures that you always have the exact amount of boiling water you need. And you will really save money if you choose the COMBI tank, which supplies all of your kitchen?s hot water too.

By generating both hot and boiling water in a single compact tank under your worktop, the COMBI eliminates the need to pipe hot water all the way from the main boiler to kitchen sink. No more running the tap for ages to get hot water and you?ll see big energy savings too.

About Reginald Ames

Reginald Ames Ltd. is a long standing tea company that has been running in London since 1934. It is a unique blend of traditional methods & ideologies with modern views & business knowhow. The company has several strings to its bow as follows:

  1. Sourcing tea directly from the growing regions, whether this be from the centralised auctions, through brokers or directly with the estate owners, the focus is, as always, on highest possible quality. This can often include the rarest finds of just 2-3Kg lots of truly superb teas!
  2. Once imported in to the UK, the company is able to supply teas internationally in varying quantities from 0.5Kg up to full container loads.
  3. At their central London based warehouse, teas are also blended and/or scented to form a variety of both staple blends and bespoke blends as per customer?s requirements.
  4. Although their strong reputation is built around quality leaf teas, a small amount of teabag packing also takes place at the warehouse in order to cater for the quality end of the teabag market.
  5. A growing area of the business for Reginald Ames is ?own label? packing. The company is able to pack a whole range of products under a customers own label, giving the customer a quality end product with a minimal amount of fuss.

The Directors of the company still pay regular visits to the growing regions in order to ensure the quality of workmanship that they hold in such high regard.

It is fortunate then, that their customers include some of the best tea companies, restaurants, hotels and tea rooms throughout the world.
