INTRODUCTION

In 1837, two brothers, Joseph and Edward Tetley started to sell tea and became such a success that they set up as tea merchants. In 1856, in partnership with Joseph Auckland, they set up "Joseph Tetley & Company, Wholesale Tea Dealers". Joseph Tetley and Co tastes success. Business was good and the company grew. As well as selling tea, Joseph Tetley & Co also began to blend and package it. In the 1880s they began to sell tea to the United States of America, and started to bring ideas back; one of these was the tea bag.

Tea was rationed during World War II, it was not until 1953, just after rationing finished, that Tetley launched the tea bag to the UK and it was an immediate success. The rest, as they say, is history. The tea bag had captured the public’s imagination and desire for convenience.

Within 10 years it revolutionized how Britons drank their tea and the old fashioned tea pot had given way to making tea in a cup using a tea bag.

Since the 60s, Tetley has continued to develop people’s love of tea drinking by introducing innovative and exciting ideas in many different countries. In 1989 we launched the round tea bag, latching on to the fashion to drink tea in a mug, rather than a cup. Next came the Drawstring, No drip, no

Ben took his invention, unpatented, to a sugar company, which apparently stole it, rendering him forever suspicious. The company actually took off when Ben and Uncle Marvelous came up with the idea for Sweet'N Low. They positioned it first as an aid to diabetics, but dieters began swiping it from hospitals and restaurants, and soon the little pink packets had largely replaced not only the sugar dispenser but sugar…

At the third boil, one should introduce the powdered tea into a small whirlpool in the cauldron created by rapidly stirring the water with the tongs.

    A major strength of Mighty Leaf Tea is the company’s unique bag design. Tea lovers themselves, co-founders Portman and Shinner opted to move away from the unbleached paper tea bags of old, because they did not bring out the full flavor of the tea, imparted a paper taste, and often had chemical byproducts (Wollman). Mighty Leaf Tea trademarked their new teabag, which acted as a roomy mesh pillow stitched with natural cotton thread. It maximized the flow of hot water to the leaves and created the rich taste of tea made from loose leaves. They also changed the contents of the tea bags as well. Many other tea brands were filling their bags with indistinguishable bits, the detritus left after tea leaves were sifted and graded. Instead, Mighty Leaf Tea opted to use full tea leaves instead of just partial pieces or “tea dust” (Fabricant).…

    Afternoon Tea Report

    • 1949 Words
    • 8 Pages

    In this report investigations will be carried out to determine what the current trends in items served in afternoon teas are as well as the way in which afternoon tea is served. Other factors that will be looked at include the changing clientele of establishments that serve afternoon tea. The range in price and quality of afternoon teas around the country and the type of places that choose to offer afternoon tea will also be investigated. Now, afternoon tea has been around since the early nineteenth century when tea first started to become popular in the UK. It ‘s invention is often credited to the 7th Duchess of Bedford (http://www.teamuse.com/article_001203.html) who it is thought used it to stave off a “mid afternoon sinking feeling”. This was most likely as a result of it being commonplace in these times to only eat 2 meals a day, Breakfast and dinner with dinner being commonly served as late as 9 in the evening. The solution to this was to have a small pot of tea, with a light snack, usually a sandwich or cake of some sort at around 4pm. This is still the traditional time for afternoon tea to be had and many afternoon teas are very careful to keep to traditional items when serving afternoon tea as it is seen as an important part of British history and culture. Some more modern places are keener to adapt and branch out as will be explained later on in the report.…
