A Journey into Hoogly Tea: Embracing Flavour, Wellness, and Sustainability

A Journey into Hoogly Tea: Embracing Flavour, Wellness, and Sustainability

In a world of ever-growing tea varieties, one brand stands out for its unique blend of flavours, wellness benefits, and commitment to sustainability. That brand is Hoogly Tea. Founded with a deep passion for hygge, the Danish concept of comfort and coziness, Hoogly Tea has crafted a range of teas that blend classic and exotic ingredients to offer the ultimate tea-drinking experience. But Hoogly Tea isn’t just about great taste; they’re on a mission to embrace sustainability through innovative packaging and responsible practices. Let’s dive into the world of Hoogly Tea, discover who they are, and learn about their journey towards sustainable, eco-friendly tea production.

Who Are Hoogly Tea?

Based in the UK, Hoogly Tea is known for its creative and carefully crafted tea blends, offering everything from traditional favourites like Earl Grey and English Breakfast to more adventurous flavours like Rhubarb & Vanillaand Cocoa & Chilli Chai. Each blend is designed to evoke a sense of tranquillity, allowing you to enjoy a moment of hygge in your busy day.

Their journey

Since its inception, Hoogly Tea has been on a remarkable journey, growing from a small tea brand to a recognized name in the wellness and specialty tea market. With an emphasis on premium, ethically sourced ingredients, Hoogly Tea ensures that every cup delivers quality and consistency.

A key turning point in Hoogly’s journey came when they made a decisive shift towards sustainability. Recognizing the impact of packaging waste on the environment, Hoogly Tea began exploring eco-friendly alternatives. This led to their partnership with Parkside Flex, a leading provider of compostable packaging solutions. Together, they introduced 100% compostable tea packaging, a bold step that showcases Hoogly’s commitment to the planet.

 Why Choose Sustainable Packaging?

In an era where consumers are increasingly conscious of their environmental footprint, Hoogly Tea understands the importance of reducing waste. The tea industry, like many others, has long been associated with single-use plastics and non-recyclable materials, contributing to the global issue of plastic pollution. Hoogly Tea wanted to break away from this mold and adopt a more sustainable approach to packaging.

The innovative packaging is made from bio-based materials, which break down completely in a home compost environment, leaving no trace of microplastics or harmful residues. By using compostable packaging, Hoogly Tea ensures that the lifecycle of their products is as sustainable as possible, from production to disposal.

Incorporating sustainable practices is not just a business decision for Hoogly; it’s part of their broader mission to promote well-being and harmony with nature. Their commitment to reducing their carbon footprint aligns perfectly with their core philosophy: to create moments of comfort and calm while protecting the planet.

Hoogly Tea’s commitment to sustainability is ongoing. As the company continues to expand its reach, they are focused on further reducing their environmental impact, whether through sourcing ingredients responsibly, minimizing waste, or exploring new ways to innovate within the tea industry.

Hoogly Tea’s journey—from its roots in hygge-inspired teas to its leadership in sustainable packaging—serves as an inspiring example of how businesses can grow while staying true to their values. With each cup of Hoogly tea, you’re not just savouring unique flavours; you’re supporting a brand that cares about your well-being and the health of the planet.

So, next time you brew a cup of Hoogly Tea, take a moment to appreciate the comforting warmth, the carefully curated ingredients, and the innovative packaging that all contribute to a better, more sustainable future.

RELAX

RELAX

After a long day at work, there’s nothing better than kicking your shoes off at home and finally being able to unwind. Everyone has their own ways to de-stress and chill out, but I think most of us would admit that the easiest (and often the most satisfying) thing to do is to slump on the couch with the TV remote and disappear into a good box set or movie. But if you find that Netflix and ice cream doesn’t always get the job done, then why not try a few activities that will make you happier, healthier and more productive in the long run?! 

 

1. Exercise: This might seem like a ludicrous suggestion after a long, draining day in the office, but it is well known that running can keep your brain young, reduce anxiety and improve your mood. If you’re not the jogging type, then try a brisk walk, listening to your favourite podcast or audio book, and burning some calories while you enjoy the fresh air.

 

2. Read: This is a wonderful way to escape the worries of everyday life, plus it has the added benefits of helping to improve your memory, reduce stress and increase your attention span. Try a genre or style that you normally wouldn’t choose, and you’ll be surprised what exciting surprises the literary world has to offer!

 

3. Cook: Some people (myself included) find cooking incredibly stressful, but for others, following a recipe and measuring out ingredients is an extremely therapeutic hobby, boosting creativity, mood and a sense of control. Plus, you (hopefully) end up with something delightful at the end of the process, preferably something big and cakey.

 

4. Clean: Another counter-intuitive suggestion, but this chore can actually work wonders for your mental health. Tidying, organising and decluttering your personal space allows you to view your home as more restful, clearing out the chaotic thoughts that can often mirror the environment around you.

 

5. Journal: There are many benefits to journaling, including organising your thoughts, helping to purge your mind of repetitive thoughts or anxious feelings, and better understanding yourself and your emotions. The act of writing is itself mindful: even if you’re only drawing simple shapes or letters, it’s a nice way to focus your concentration, noticing the way the pen or pencil interacts with the paper, paying attention to how you feel as you create, and allowing yourself to enjoy the moment.

 

6. Digital detox: It’s always a good idea to ration your screen time, but especially so after a hard day of checking emails and conjuring spreadsheets. It’s important to cut off from the working day where possible, allowing your mind to have the rest it deserves, and focussing on the people and things around you. Do this often enough, and you may find that your mood improves, as well as your sleep, leaving you feeling more refreshed and ready to face the working day.

 

7. Drink a cup of Hoogly tea. Obviously, we’ve saved the best for last! Having a cuppa after work is one of life’s great pleasures, but at Hoogly, we take things to the next level, providing a relaxation sensation that is hard to match! Our teas are lovingly crafted with your mindfulness as our top priority, allowing you to unwind in luxury, enjoying our scintillating scents and tantalising tastes. With this is mind, allow us to present a glorious pick-me-up for the autumn months: Tiramisu black tea! This Italian-inspired masterclass is an indulgent blend of Sri Lankan black tea, coffee beans and cocoa, dazzling your senses with a rich and creamy taste that will soften the blow of the shortening days and reluctant sun. 

 

That’s it for now, Hoogly fans. Keep a look out for the Hoogly Tea Lodge in Preston Park, opening soon to offer the people of Sussex (and beyond) their fix of beautiful brews, classic cakes and a gorgeously laid-back atmosphere packed with Hygge charm. I was fortunate enough to be invited for a sneak preview of the venue, and I was blown away by the friendly team and the quality of the products on offer. If you get the chance to check it out, you will leave with a smile on your face, guaranteed!
