Typhoo is a historic British tea brand with a heritage dating back to 1903. Founded in Birmingham by John Sumner, it was famously the first tea to be sold pre-packaged rather than loose over the counter. The brand became a household name in the UK, known for its iconic 'Great British Brew' and the long-running advertising slogan, 'You only get an OO with Typhoo'.

While the tea leaves themselves are sourced from plantations around the globe—primarily from India and Africa—the final processing, blending, and packaging have traditionally taken place in the United Kingdom. Historically, the brand's production was centered at its factory in Moreton on the Wirral. In recent years, the brand has undergone significant corporate changes, moving from the ownership of India-based Apeejay Surrendra Group to its current private equity backing as the company navigates the modern retail landscape.
