Twinings of London tea

Twinings of London is one of the world's most historic tea brands, with roots dating back to 1706 when Thomas Twining founded what became the first known tea room in London. The brand is famous for popularizing Earl Grey tea and holds a Royal Warrant from the British Royal Household.

While the brand is deeply iconic to British culture, its manufacturing and sourcing are truly global. While some primary processing still occurs in the UK, Twinings operates major blending and packaging facilities in countries like Poland, China, and India to serve international markets. The raw tea leaves are sourced from diverse regions including Kenya, Sri Lanka, and Assam.

Since 1964, Twinings has been owned by Associated British Foods (ABF). Under ABF ownership, the brand has expanded its global reach to over 100 countries, maintaining its position as a premium leader in the international tea and herbal infusion market.
