Hornimans Black Tea

Hornimans is a historic brand with a legacy dating back to the 19th century. Originally founded in the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom, by John Horniman, the brand revolutionized the tea market by being the first to sell tea in sealed, pre-packaged bags to ensure quality and prevent adulteration.

Over the decades, the brand's ownership shifted through various mergers. Today, Hornimans is a leading brand in the Spanish market and is owned by JDE Peet's, a global leader in coffee and tea. The manufacturing utilizes tea leaves sourced from various geographical locations worldwide to maintain consistent flavor profiles, which is why it is often cited as produced in multiple countries. JDE Peet's is headquartered in the Netherlands and continues to manage the brand's expansion and product innovation.
