Twinings is the brand. Not sure what grounds there is for calling it the most famous - before clicking the article I thought it had to be Typhoo or Tetley. Clearly they all thought that whatever they chose for the company name, it *had* to begin with "T" because, you know, they sell tea.

Typhoo is kind of a dead brand at this point; they went into administration and closed their factory, and now it's owned by a vape company who just resell tea made by others.

Tetley is a plausible contender I guess, but I didn't think they were that well known abroad.

PG Tips strangely is pretty much unknown abroad because it's owned by Lipton who sell essentially the same product under different brands elsewhere.

Yorkshire Tea/Taylors of Harrogate seems like the most likely brand to beat Twinings in global recognition though.

PG tips has been dead to me since they stopped making pyramid bags.
