PureOaty launches first oat drink specially for tea

PureOaty launches first oat drink specially for tea

Glebe Farm Foods, producer of gluten-free, 100 per cent pure British oats, has announced the launch of its latest plant-based innovation: PureOaty Tea-rrific. This new oat drink has been crafted specifically to enhance tea for non-dairy drinkers.

Despite tea being the leading use of milk in the UK, there’s a distinct lack of oat-based alternatives for enjoying in a cup of tea. While other oat brands on the market have had laser focus on innovating around coffee - a smaller consumption occasion for milk when compared to tea at 28 per cent versus 48 per cent – Glebe Farm Foods has created the perfect oat-based accompaniment for what Brits enjoy drinking the most.


Research shows a wider adoption of milk alternatives in tea is hindered by fear of affecting the taste and the colour and concerns around splitting, all of which detract from the much-loved tea-drinking experience. Now, PureOaty Tea-rrific has burst onto the plant-based beverage scene to fill this significant gap in the market.

After extensive development, the “oat experts” at Glebe Farm Foods have perfected the gluten-free recipe, addressing taste, colour, and stability and ensuring that it does not split to deliver a perfect, great tasting cuppa every time.

After being blind tested on 120 consumers, 74 per cent said they enjoyed Tea-rrific’s smooth tea experience, 75 per cent said it maintained the rich tea colour and 79 per cent said they would be purchasing Tea-rrific for themselves.

"We're incredibly proud to introduce Tea-rrific to the market,” said Philip Rayner, Owner and Managing Director of Glebe Farm Foods. “ We saw a clear need for a high-quality, plant-based alternative that could truly enhance the tea-drinking experience. Our team has worked tirelessly to perfect this product, and we believe it will set a new standard for oat drinks in tea. With Tea-rrific, we're not just offering an alternative, we're offering a superior choice that caters to all tea lovers, including those with gluten sensitivities.”

Being completely British made and produced onsite, PureOaty Tea-rrific, like all PureOaty products, also boasts the lowest carbon footprint score of any oat drink on the UK market. At 0.268KG CO2e per litre, its carbon footprint is on average 54 per cent lower than competitor brands.

Tea-rrific will be available for all independent retailers via their online trade purchasing portal from 21 October with an RSP of £2.09.

KTC Edibles launches Super High-Oleic frying oil

KTC Edibles launches Super High-Oleic frying oil

KTC Edibles Ltd (KTC), the UK’s largest supplier of edible oils, has launched Super High-Oleic Frying Oil, a traceable high-performance and long-life frying oil.


HOPO is blended using 100% traceable, organic, carbon-neutral RSPO Certified Sustainable Identity Preserved (IP) high oleic palm oil sourced directly from Daabon, a global leader in sustainable agriculture. KTC Super Hi Oleic can be offered with full traceability back to Daabon’s CI Tequendama SAS mill in Northern Colombia, providing complete visibility and zero deforestation guarantees - all the data customers need to comply with their obligations under the new European Union Deforestation Regulation (EU DR).

DAABON’s carbon-neutral organic palm oil has a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculated CO2eq of -977kg per tonne, cradle to gate. The LCA was conducted using Ecopalma’s carbon footprint estimation tool, harmonised with the ISO 14067 standard.

This traceability offers other sustainability benefits, allowing customers to calculate their Scope 3 emissions - and because it’s sourced from Daabon, a global leader in sustainable agriculture, it can be an effective way for companies to reduce the carbon footprint of their frying operations.

Gary Lewis, Sales Director at KTC Edibles, explains, "Super Hi Oleic offers the gold standard in sustainable, high-performance, long-life frying oils. We believe in offering consumers innovative new products that not only meet their culinary needs but also align with their values and sustainability goals. This is a giant leap forward in the industry, and we're proud to be at the forefront of positive change."

The high oleic palm oil used in the product also offers some unique performance advantages. It has higher oxidative stability and smoke point, lower PUFAs (Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids) and saturated fats than standard oils. The non-GMO, non-additive formula also provides a long shelf life, a well-balanced fatty acid profile and neutral taste attributes, ensuring it can be blended with other vegetable oils for premium performance at competitive prices.

Created using a natural, non-GMO hybrid of a standard African palm tree and a native Latin American palm tree, high oleic palm oil offers significantly higher crop yields than standard palm. It also requires manual pollination leading to additional employment, helping boost the local economy - the costs of which are offset by the higher yields.
