Turning 18 years old this year (2023), SUKI TEA now has a dream, state-of-the-art 7500 sq. ft Tea Factory as its HQ to help the team continue delivering excellence for its wide customer base. The new factory provides the perfect creative space for innovation in blending and recipe creation, and a dedicated tea-rista training room for all customers.

The new factory move will also assist SUKI in its goals for net zero carbon, leading the way for a cleaner future for its business. In line with SUKI TEA’s mission to be an ethical and sustainable organisation, the new factory has allowed the business to reduce its Scope 2 emissions down to zero, superseding its environmental target to reduce the business’ emissions by 50% by 2030.

The new facility is powered by 100% renewable energy sources including a 10kW Solar PV system. LED sensor lighting and PIR controls are installed throughout, along with large windows for maximised used of daylight and recycling of key waste streams.
