Twinings

UK Companies House shows R. Twining and Company Limited registered at ABF's Weston Centre in London, with its person with significant control being Twining Crosfield & Co Limited, whose controller is A.B.F. Holdings Limited, whose controller is ABF Investments plc, all at the same address. Wikipedia reports Associated British Foods plc is London-headquartered, listed on the London Stock Exchange, and 54.5 percent owned by Wittington Investments of the Weston family, so control and listing are both in the UK bucket. The Canadian storefront's terms name Twinings North America, Inc. of New Jersey as the operator; Corporations Canada returned zero federal results for Twinings and the Ontario Business Registry could not be searched today.

The Canadian site's history page says the master blenders work from facilities near London and that tea is produced at the company's manufacturing plant in Poland; Wikipedia reports the Andover, Hampshire factory was retained when most production moved to Poland and China in 2011, and The CANADA List records Poland as the manufacturing country. The small OTHER share is an estimate for any China-packed lines; Twinings North America's consumer service address on Twining Road in Greensboro, North Carolina could not be confirmed as a packing site, and no Canadian product label was fetched.

R. Twining and Company is registered in London and the vendor describes blending teams near London and a plant in Poland, so most staff are in the UK bucket. The Canadian shop is run by Twinings North America, Inc., with offices in Rutherford and Clifton, New Jersey, a consumer service site in Greensboro, North Carolina, and one office at 3700 Steeles Avenue West in Woodbridge, Ontario; the split is an estimate because no headcount by country was published.

The vendor's Sourced with Care page says it buys tea and herbs from gardens in Kenya, India and China among others, and its Orange Pekoe product page names Sri Lanka, so the leaf is almost entirely from the OTHER bucket. The EU share is an estimate for tea bag paper and packaging used at the Polish and UK plants; no supplier list by volume was published.
