Stephen Twining
Stephen Twining is the 10th generation of this famous tea clan. He began working for the company in 1985 and moved up through the ranks to become Director of Corporate Relations, which in layman’s terms is “tea ambassador.” Stephen enjoys the enviable position of traveling the world to inform and enlighten people about tea in general and to publicize his namesake brand.
There is no name more venerable in the British tea trade than Twinings. In 1711, Queen Anne, a tea lover of some note, appointed Thomas Twining her official purveyor of teas, and Twinings have held Royal Warrants to every king or queen since that time. For ten generations spanning three centuries, this tea dynasty has reigned supreme across the British Empire.
The Twining family trace their heritage to the Gloucestershire township of Twyning at the confluence of the Avon and Severn rivers. Twyning derives from the Old English word for “between the rivers” and, despite its spelling, was originally (but no longer) pronounced TWIN-ning.
