UK-based natural tea company Only Natural Products wins 2016 Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade

Manufacturer and supplier of natural and organic teas, Only Natural Products, was last week a proud winner of a 2016 Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade.

This prestigious award, conferred on 21st April to coincide with Her Majesty’s 90th birthday, awarded outstanding achievement for growth in overseas sales over three years.

Storrington-based Only Natural Products, whose brand portfolio includes Higher Living, Kromland Farm and Dr. Stuart’s teas, currently exports to nearly 60 countries worldwide. Total overseas sales have doubled over the last three years, now accounting for more than 70% of all production.

The business’s success in overseas trade is largely due to its decision to concentrate on 100% organic and natural ingredients, and to innovate by creating strong brands and tastes, to meet growing worldwide consumer demand for this quality and style.

The Made in the UK brand is regarded as a mark of quality and ethical production. This has enabled the company to maintain manufacturing in the UK, when the trend in the wider tea industry is to move production to the Far East or Eastern Europe.
