An authentic Irish tea. Punjana Tea has been blended in Belfast since 1896.
Punjana Limited.
A century ago, Punjana Limited, the tea importer and blender, was
beginning its life near the docklands in Belfast. Originally founded by
McArthur and Willis, the Thompson family made their mark in 1896 when
Robert Samuel Thompson became a partner.
Robert Samuel Thompson was joined in the post war years by James and
Tony Thompson and today Ross and David Thompson carry on the
traditional skill of tea tasting and blending in much the same way as
has been done since the company was founded.
Robert Samuel Thompson originally entered the tea trade in 1887, and
studied the art of tea tasting. He soon was made a partner in McArthur
and Willis from 1896. He became known for his uncompromising devotion
to quality and led the company for 51 years.
As the 20th Century progressed, the connection with the Thompson
family was strengthened and in post-war years, James and Tony Thompson
became partners in the company. They were responsible for the birth of
the Punjana brand and developed it until they retired in the late
1980´s.
The joint managing directors of Punjana Limited, today carry on the
traditional job of tea tasting and selecting the company´s teas, in
much the same way as has been done since the company was founded in
1896.
