In a time when coffee was king, one man, Thomas Twining, went against the tide to share his love of tea. His passion turned a little-known drink into the nation’s favourite hot beverage. For us, tea is more than just a drink. It’s been part of our daily lives and the lives of generations of tea lovers for over 300 years.
The Twining Family
We wouldn’t have our beloved tea without this family; they are truly remarkable and have taught the world what there is to know about good quality tea. So far, ten generations of the Twining family have been there to watch it all happen, from the creation of our famous English Breakfast blend to supplying tea to the Red Cross for food parcels during the war.
In fact, Stephen Twining still works at the Twinings HQ and he is an important figure in making sure that everything is up to standard, spreading the Twinings message across the globe and helping to make sure Thomas’s promise is never broken.
