J Tetley? Probably irrelavent from Wikipedia: 'In 1822, brothers Joseph and Edward Tetley sold salt from a pack horse in Yorkshire, England.[3] They started to sell tea and the venture became such a success that they set up as tea merchants "Joseph Tetley & Co." in 1837.[4] They relocated to London in 1856 and set up "Joseph Tetley & Company, Wholesale Tea Dealers".[5] It was the first company to sell tea in tea-bags in the United Kingdom in 1953.In 1952, in an early example of cross-promotion, Petula Clark's single "Anytime Is Tea-Time Now" was used to advertise Tetley on Radio Luxembourg' 'Tetley's Brewery (Joshua Tetley & Son Ltd) was an English regional brewery founded in 1822 by Joshua Tetley in Hunslet, now a suburb of Leeds, West Yorkshire.
