MMM…Typhoo tea. If you have not experienced it yet you need to! Typhoo was founded by a man named John Summer in the 1900s. He inherited his father’s grocery shop in Birmingham and his sister influenced him to start selling a tea that aided in indigestion, which she commonly experienced. Once he began investing in this tea, he decided it was doing so well in the market that he needed to name it. He had some criteria for the name though:
- It must be distinct
- It must trip off the tongue
- It must be protected
He chose “Typhoo”, which in Chinese means doctor. This name is fitting because it aided in indigestion! He removed tannins from the tea which were thought to be the cause indigestion.
He was not making quite the profit he wanted to so he began selling teapots and other items that were branded with the name to get the name out there in 1906.
By 1909, this plan flourished and John had paid off his debts. This brand has grew ever since.
BY THE MID 1960’S, TYPHOO WAS ANNUALLY PACKAGING 80 MILLION POUNDS OF TEA!
One thing we really enjoy about Typhoo is that they fund Disability Sports events across the UK and the Big Brew Campaign to “tackle the stigma around mental health by getting people to sit down and talk about their problems over a cuppa.”
