Twinings famously started selling their specialist teas in 1706 from London's Strand, during this time the most popular drinks in England were coffee, gin and ale. Although tea had been drunk in China for thousands of years, it had only just been imported to England. When selling his tea he sold only the highest quality, and today Twinings maintains that philosophy. Ten generations have passed and Twinings continue to ensure that they keep the quality the best it can be.
