Twinings

The secret to the perfect cup of tea... In a recent Daily Mail feature, our very own Stephen Twining, 10th-generation member of the Twining family, shared his expert guidance for brewing the ultimate cup: “One key ingredient is the tea and the quality of that, the other is the water, that water is going to be the major part.” Stephen always empties his kettle of any previously boiled water and refills it with fresh cold water from the tap — his “magic ingredient.” The fresh water contains dissolved oxygen, which helps extract the tea’s full flavour and aroma. It’s a simple step, but one that makes every cup taste just that little bit better, as the more the water is boiled, the less oxygen it contains, which changes the flavour profile of the tea.

Earlier this year, we shared how Farmers’ Voice Radio was helping smallholder farmers in Kenya access practical, relevant training on topics like soil health, pest management and climate resilience. In Africa, radio remains one of the most trusted and accessible ways to reach rural communities. Research by BBC Media Action shows that 97% of people have access to a radio at home, with 70% listening daily. In Kenya, more than 30,000 farmers tuned in weekly to learn and share best practices — leading to improved tea yields, stronger climate adaptation and higher incomes. Building on this success, we’ve expanded the programme into Nigeria, supporting hibiscus and ginger farmers, and Sri Lanka, working with smallholder tea farmers, with the aim of reaching thousands more farmers through local-language broadcasts that promote more sustainable farming methods and community development. By meeting farmers where they are, we’re aiming to help to grow more resilient livelihoods — and shape a more sustainable future for tea. #Twinings #Tea #Sustainability
