Twinings
For three centuries Twinings has been a favourite with British tea drinkers. Introduced to the capital in 1706 by Thomas Twining, who started selling a range of teas, including 'Gunpowder Green' tea from the Twinings coffee-house premises on The Strand, the brand gained a loyal following in London. In 1837 Queen Victoria appointed Twinings as the official Royal Warrant Holder.
Throughout history, Twinings has been at the forefront of sophisticated socialising. Nineteenth century English novelist Jane Austen regularly placed orders for Twinings and it is in definite demand with modern icons of today who host their own glamorous tea parties at top venues to celebrate this quintessentially English occasion in a traditional or contemporary way.
As with some other beverages such as coffee, the flavour, overall quality and appearance of tea is greatly influenced by the local growing conditions and agro-climatic influences. Cultivated at high altitudes, the subtle changes at every stage of the tea production process can have a major impact on the finished quality.
