Twinings was born in 1706 when Thomas Twining began to sell premium quality tea in his coffee house on The Strand. Their first tea shop, the Golden Lyon, was opened in 1750, and continues to trade to this very day. A veritable market leader for centuries, Twinings maintain their high standards of flavour with over 3000 taste tests every week! Hoteliers and restaurant owners are fond of the brand, and we were proud to offer a selection of evergreen favourites for your customers to enjoy.
