Hi,
I need to buy my mother Twinings Queen Mary Loose tea (two cases) and have it shipped to Indiana....any thoughts on where they shop is in London? I am here on business and can't find the answer from the locals...fortnum mason does not carry Twinings. Thanks!

From Yell.com - it may be what you are looking for.

R Twining & Co.Ltd
216, Strand, London, WC2R 1AP Tel: 020 7353 3511 Classification: Tea & Coffee Specialist Shops

The original Twinings Tea shop is opposite the Palaces of Justice. It's very tiny.

The Tea House might carry Twinings. Neal Street, Covent Garden.

Your mother must be a tea junkie like we are. Every trip my mother or I take to the UK, we come back with as much Fortnum & Mason Breakfast tea as we can fit in our suitcases.

Try Selfridge or Harrods in the food halls.

I think you're looking in the wrong country.

According to Twinings UK web site, the product isn't available. According to its US site it is (Twinings have a US packing plant). Details of US stockists can be got through:

Incidentally, Fortnums are being less than honest if they claim not to stock Twinings. Both companies are ultimately owned by the same, Canadian, family. Fortnums teas were, when I was involved with part of this empire, simply Twinings under different wraps.

Twinings are never first rate teas, Fortnums have a far superior selection with helpful staff to assist.

We found the best prices on Twining's at the local Sainsbury's store. We love Twining's English Breakfast, but I my all time favorite is Fortnum & Mason's peach tea. Twining's has a peach tea, but it can't compare to F&M's.
