Hornimans tea

Hornimans is a brand with a deep historical legacy, founded by John Horniman in 1826 in the United Kingdom. It was a pioneer in the tea industry, being the first company to sell sealed, branded tea packets to ensure quality and prevent adulteration. This innovation helped tea become a more accessible and trusted beverage for the general public.

Over the decades, the brand's focus shifted towards the Spanish market, where it became a household name for herbal infusions and classical teas. In terms of ownership, the brand was acquired by the Dutch company JDE Peet's, which was formed through the merger of Jacobs Douwe Egberts and Peet's Coffee. Today, Hornimans operates as a leading specialty tea brand under this global conglomerate, with major production and distribution centered in Spain to serve the European and international markets.
