There’s a new tea brand coming to the U.S. At least right now, it’s coming to the eastern U.S. The brand is the 108 year old family owned Punjana Tea. An Invest Northern Ireland sponsored trade mission to the U.S. in Boston and New York back in March had Punjana signing up with Tree of Life, a distributor, and the Stop and Shop chain of stores. Stop and Shop has about 300 stores on the east coast.
As for Punjana, they are the market leader in Northern Ireland. They blend teas from Assam and Kenya. Ross Thompson, who is the third generation owner of Punjana, said they are getting an encouraging response from their Punjana Fairtrade and Decaffeinated tea varieties as well as excellent reviews of their Irish Breakfast tea which will become available in the US in July.

Looking forward to Punjana Tea coming to the USA. I was fortunate to have a sister-in-law employed by Punjana. She made sure that I never run out of my favorite tea!
