Titanic Tea

The Thompson Tea company started life near Belfast docks where, just a few years later, Robert Thompson could look out of his window and see the great liner Titanic take shape in the neighboring shipyard.

Thousands of men from Belfast and beyond worked in the yard – most of them bringing their lunch with them: a sandwich Titanic-Teaand….a can of tea. Most of it, although they didn’t know it, had been blended just around the corner at Punjana. They just enjoyed its great taste and restorative powers.

As the great ship took shape, Thompson’s Tea continued to provide fuel for the ship workers. The harder they worked, the thirstier they became – and the more they looked forward to their break, and a brew.

Irish Tea Breakfast Blend

For the next 50 years, Robert Thompson worked hard improving the tea blend he had created especially to suit the Northern Ireland water. Today, the Thompson Family’s tea is a staple in homes right across the country, and their beloved Punjana is still a favourite tea brand.

To celebrate the centenary of the launch of Titanic and the Thompson family’s connection with Belfast, third generation cousins Ross and David Thompson have crafted a special blend of ‘Thompson’s  Titanic Tea’,  a blend that could surely have graced Thomas Andrews’ table. This beautifully designed pack will be featured in the magnificent Titanic Signature Building shop, proving therefore that Thompsons really do……PUT THE T IN TITANIC.
