Thomas Twining founded Twinings in 1706 around 40 years after Tea was first imported into Britain, Thomas worked with an East Indian Tea merchant for 5 years learning the trade inside out before going out on his own after buying a Coffee shop in The Strand, London.
Back in those days Coffee was hugely popular and Tea was a new and then a relatively unknown beverage but Thomas’s vast knowledge of Tea gave him an advantage and soon people from all over London were going to the Coffee shop to drink Tea.
