Twinings
A shop on the Strand
In 1706, Thomas Twining opened a café on the Strand in London, selling tea, a beverage that was still rare and expensive at the time. The shop remains at the same address, 216 Strand, more than three centuries later. The company's gold logo, designed in 1787, is considered one of the oldest commercial logos still in use.
