A small but focused team was the nucleus from which the Imperial Teas Group was founded in 1994. Since then, remarkably rapid growth since then in a crowded and highly competitive marketplace has placed the Group at the vanguard of the tea industry. Since 1998, the Group has achieved ‘Top10 Tea Exporter’ status and was ranked the 8th largest tea exporter during 2008, with a customer network of over 60 countries.
