Brooke Bond
Brooke Bond is a brand of tea owned by Lipton Teas and Infusions. It used to be an independent tea-trading and manufacturing company in the United Kingdom, known for its PG Tips brand and its Brooke Bond tea cards.[1] It was started in Manchester by Arthur Brooke from Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, England, in 1869. By 1957, Brooke Bond was probably the largest tea company in the world, with one third share of both the British and Indian tea markets.[2]
It merged with Liebig in 1968, becoming Brooke Bond Liebig. This was bought by Unilever in 1984. The Brooke Bond factory is in Trafford Park near Manchester.
