Lyons Jam Tea Cakes

Lyons Jam Tea Cakes are a classic British snack consisting of a biscuit base topped with a dollop of jam and marshmallow, all encased in a chocolate-flavored coating. The Lyons brand has a storied history in the United Kingdom, dating back to 1894 when J. Lyons & Co. opened its first teashop in London. Over the decades, the company became a staple of the British high street and a massive food manufacturing conglomerate known for its cakes, tea, and biscuits.

Ownership of the Lyons brand has been split over time between different food categories. While the Lyons tea brand is currently owned by Lipton Teas and Infusions, the biscuit and tea cake range was eventually acquired by Burton's Biscuit Company. In 2021, Burton's was purchased by a Ferrero-related company, leading to the formation of Fox's Burton's Companies (FBC) UK in 2022.

Today, Lyons Jam Tea Cakes are manufactured in the United Kingdom within the FBC production network. The ultimate owner of the brand is the Ferrero Group, the global confectionery giant headquartered in Luxembourg and Italy, which continues to produce these traditional treats under the heritage Lyons label.
