A collaboration between Dragonfly Tea and Pulp has been confirmed ahead of the band’s first album in twenty-four years, More.
Pulp’s ongoing release of new merch and music has delighted fans across the globe, and a recent tea announcement has received praise. Pulp’s return to the stage in 2023 was followed by a series of new clothing releases, as well as a periodic table of elements, tote bags, and tea bags. Those tea bags proved delightful, and it seems fans wanting more are in luck, with Dragonfly Tea set to release their Pulp collaboration. Frontman Jarvis Cocker also released a branch of tea with Jarv Is…, a peppermint blend which was also released through Dragonfly Tea.
Cocker said: “Whether it’s a Monday Morning, a Good Night or an Acrylic Afternoon, Pulp Green Sencha tea gets me centred and stimulated enough to deal with it. Get the kettle on!”
A representative for Dragonfly Tea said: “We’re proud to introduce our latest limited-edition collaboration with British pop icons Pulp, a fresh fusion of evergreen cool and green tea clarity, created to celebrate the release of their new album More.
“Together with the band, we’ve crafted a Sencha-style green tea that’s clean, bright, and effortlessly refreshing, the perfect companion for drifting into a daydream of the ‘million things in store for you, just beyond the horizon.’”
Each box contains 20 individually sealed sachets (40g), each with a folded and stitched tea bag that is 100 per cent plastic-free and suitable for home-composting. Visit this link to order now. The box used for the Sencha tea features lyrics from the upcoming Pulp song, Farmer’s Market.
Alongside the release of new tea, Pulp will put out their first record in twenty-four years this Friday (June 6). In a five-star review of the upcoming album, Cult Following declared it an incredible return to form for the group, which has them shape their future by looking to the past.
The review, which can be read here, reads: “Pulp proves to be as genuine as they always were, indifferent to the context of a legacy and willing to push their sound that much further. Borderline autobiographical at times, though blurring the line between fictionalised recollections and the odd remembrance of minor details, from digestive biscuits in charity shops to the awkward pleasantries at some market, out there in some field, is a neat touch. Growing up is fine, as long as you don’t get old.
Pulp are set to tour the UK and Ireland later this month too, with a kick-off show in Glasgow on Saturday, June 7. Keep an eye out for coverage of the Glasgow date, as well as the band’s gigs in Dublin, Birmingham, and Manchester on Cult Following.
