Twinings tea

Twinings is one of the world's most historic and prestigious tea brands, founded in 1706 by Thomas Twining on London's Strand. For over three centuries, it has been a pioneer in the global tea trade, holding a Royal Warrant from the British Monarchy since 1837. The brand is renowned for creating iconic blends such as Earl Grey and English Breakfast, which remain household staples worldwide.

While the brand maintains its British heritage and primary operations in the United Kingdom, the manufacturing and sourcing of its products are truly global. Twinings sources tea leaves from gardens in countries like Kenya, Malawi, India, and China. Blending and packaging occur in various facilities across the UK, Poland, and China to serve different international markets. This allows the brand to maintain high standards of quality while meeting global demand.

Today, Twinings is owned by Associated British Foods (ABF), a multinational food processing and retail giant. Under ABF's ownership, Twinings has expanded its portfolio to include wellness shots and lifestyle teas, maintaining its position as a leader in the premium tea sector while benefiting from the corporate scale and distribution network of its parent company.
