Twinings is a well-known English marketer of tea, with a rich history dating back to 1706. It is recognized as one of the oldest companies in the world that has been continuously in operation. The company was founded by Thomas Twining, who opened the first known tea room at No. 216 Strand, London.

History[edit | edit source]

The history of Twinings is intertwined with the history of tea in Britain. Thomas Twining originally sold coffee, but soon expanded his offerings to include tea, a rare and expensive luxury at the time. The popularity of tea grew rapidly, and by the mid-18th century, it had surpassed coffee as the drink of choice in England. Twinings has been a major player in the tea industry ever since.

Products[edit | edit source]

Twinings offers a wide range of tea products, including black, green, and herbal teas. The company is also known for its specialty blends, such as Earl Grey and Lady Grey. Twinings teas are available in loose leaf and bagged forms.

Twinings and Society[edit | edit source]

Twinings has had a significant impact on British society. The company's teas have been enjoyed by generations of Britons, and its iconic logo is a familiar sight in shops and homes across the country. Twinings has also played a role in popularizing tea drinking in other parts of the world.
