Twinings English Breakfast Extra Strong tea

Founded in 1706 by Thomas Twining in London, Twinings is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious tea brands. This English Breakfast Extra Strong blend is a robust iteration of their signature black tea, designed to offer a full-bodied and intense caffeine profile. The brand is famous for holding a Royal Warrant from the British Royal Family, a distinction it has maintained since 1837.

While the brand maintains its historical identity as a British institution, the manufacturing and sourcing are truly global. Twinings sources its tea leaves from various regions, including India, Kenya, and Sri Lanka. For the Australian and international markets, the tea is frequently blended and packed in locations such as Poland or the United Kingdom, depending on specific supply chain requirements.

In terms of ownership, Twinings is no longer an independent family-run business. It is owned by Associated British Foods (ABF), a global food, ingredients, and retail giant headquartered in London. ABF manages Twinings through its specialized grocery division, ensuring the brand remains a dominant player in the premium tea market worldwide.
