HISTORY:
Thomas Lipton
began travelling the world for new items to stock in this store. One such item was tea, since sales had doubled from £40 million in the late 1870's to £80 million by the mid-1880's. He believed the price was far too high, so in 1890 he purchased his own tea gardens in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, where he packaged and sold the first Lipton tea. Staying true to this vision, he arranged packaging and shipping at low costs and sold his tea in packets by the pound, half pound, and quarter pound, with the advertising slogan: "Direct from the tea gardens to the teapot." Lipton teas were an immediate success in the United States.
SHIPPING:
