British lifestyle brand Urban Apothecary London is delighted to announce it has secured two business awards – New Business Of The Year awarded by The Leicester & Mercury Business Awards 2014, and the prestigious Startups 100 List of 2014 by Startup.co.uk where the brand has been ranked at number 59 in the definitive list of 100 fast-growing, high-potential new UK businesses.

With a long history within the lifestyle and beauty industry, founder Tajinder Banwait brings her extensive knowledge and creative flair to this innovative brand that champions a little luxury and indulgence everyday.

Born into an entrepreneurial family, Tajinder was influenced by their drive from a very early age. This significant start in life, coupled with her own passion and determination, led her to work for a variety of beauty and lifestyle brands – always with the plan that one day she would launch her own.

With two fragranced candle collections and a fragranced reed diffuser line already on the market, this season Urban Apothecary London launches the Teacup Scented Candle collection; a trio of candles that capture the essence of three of the nations favourite brews and place them in soya wax candles to be enjoyed purely for their fragrance alone.

* Earl Grey – The tea bears the name of the British Prime Minister, the 2nd Earl Grey, who was given a gift of tea flavoured with bergamot (bitter orange), the oil that gives the tea it's recognisable, highly perfumed aroma. Here the bergamot is combined with lemon and the dry, calming scent of the tea leaves.
* Chai Tea Masala – A blend of Indian spices, black tea leaves and warmed milk make this an intoxicating and aromatic fragrance.
* White Tea – A refreshing blend of bergamot, mandarin, jasmin and ginger with soft woody notes support a delighful composition of White Tea notes.

Urban Apothecary continues to innovate in terms of presentation, and each candle is encased in a beautiful glass teacup with beaded glass handle and matching saucer.
