About Typhoo
Typhoo is an iconic British tea brand launched in 1903 by John Sumner Jr. of Birmingham, making it one of the UK oldest tea companies. The name Typhoo derives from the Chinese word for doctor, reflecting its origins as a digestive-friendly tea. Typhoo pioneered pre-packaged tea rather than loose counter sales and began making tea bags in 1967. After administration in November 2024, Typhoo was acquired by Manchester-based Supreme for 10.2 million pounds in December 2024. In April 2025, Supreme opened a new state-of-the-art factory in Gloucester capable of producing 1,700 tea bags per minute. All Typhoo tea is sourced from Rainforest Alliance certified gardens, with the beloved Gold line revived in Autumn 2025. Available at major UK supermarkets, Typhoo continues its 120-plus year tradition of refreshingly bold British tea.
