In 1706, when Thomas Twining first opened his shop in Strand, London, he likely had little idea that the company that would bear his name would take an unparalleled role in the growth of the world’s favourite beverage.
Indeed, the company that first spotted the potential of tea 300 years ago, continues to develop that potential today. R. Twining and Co. Ltd. remains at the forefront of the tea trade - blending and innovating; improving the design and the packaging; and introducing new products and new ways of doing business.
After influencing tea-drinking habits and helping to shape an entire industry for more than three centuries, no one knows better than Twinings how to deliver the perfect tea experience.
