How did Tetley tea start?
The company was founded in 1837 by brothers Joseph and Edward Tetley. The brothers parted sometime later leaving Joseph as the sole proprietor of the tea company which he later named “Joseph Tetley & Co., Wholesale Tea Dealers”. In 1871, Joseph Tetley brought his son Joseph Tetley Junior into his partnership, and later died in 1889. Tetley Junior continued his father’s successful tea business opening multiple plants in America. And after the Second World War, Tetley’s small tea bag products became a well-known commodity. Today, Tetley tea is one of America’s favorite tea products for brewing both hot and iced teas. Their products are sold in almost every supermarket in the United States. Besides black tea, Tetley also offers green, herbal, and decaffeinated teas as well. These too are ok products if one wants a switch from the ordinary cup and try something different.
