We take pride in our tea from bud to cup and have been working with some of our tea estates around the world since the early 18th Century.


More than 300 years later, the love of tea is still here - and so are we! We still sell tea from Thomas's shop, and we still work hard to bring the most innovative new blends to tea lovers around the world. Now, we have over 500 varieties and our teas are cherished all over the world. Our expert master blenders taste more than 3,000 cups of tea every week. So you can be sure the next cup you taste will be every bit as good as the one yesterday or the day before.
