More Information About Twinings Tea

Although playing a huge role in the industry, the history of tea and its origins go back at least 2,000 years to China. Tea didn’t arrive in Europe until 1606, and until 1706, coffee was still the more popular beverage. Tom Twining witnessed the boom of coffee houses in cities as meeting places for important men, so he decided to open a tea house in the Strand, London. By 1717, Thomas had acquired two adjacent houses and turned one of them into a space making handcrafted blends of tea. He adorned the shop with a gold painted lion, and The Golden Lyon Tea and Coffee House was born.

Subsequent Twining generations continued to take over the booming business as the taste for tea continued to grow. In 1933, Twinings first blended the famous English Breakfast tea, which was marketed as a stronger tea to complement the bold flavours of a traditional breakfast. It wasn’t until 1956 that Twinings made tea bags for the first time, but this meant they expanded significantly into North American markets. Twinings became a member of the Ethical Tea Partnership in 1997, marking their commitment to creating a fairer, more sustainable tea industry for workers.
