Hornimans Manzanilla Tea

Hornimans is a historic tea brand with deep roots in both the United Kingdom and Spain. Founded in 1826 by John Horniman in the Isle of Wight, the brand significantly influenced the tea market by introducing sealed, pre-packaged tea bags to ensure quality and prevent tampering. While its origins are British, the brand has historically become an iconic household name in Spain, where it is a market leader in the herbal infusion segment.

Today, the brand is under the ownership of JDE Peet's, a global beverage powerhouse headquartered in the Netherlands. JDE Peet's was formed through the merger of Jacobs Douwe Egberts and Peet's Coffee. Production for Hornimans products typically occurs across various facilities within the JDE network, often involving sourcing raw materials like chamomile (Manzanilla) from global agricultural regions and processing them in European factories to serve the Iberian market.
