OUR HERITAGE

In 1879, James Griffiths established one of Australia’s first tea and coffee distribution companies at 30 Flinders Street, Melbourne. The building is now occupied by the boutique Lindrum Hotel.

A spirited entrepreneur, Griffiths made his company a household name through his pioneering use of outdoor advertising.

Signs beside the railway tracks leading to Melbourne declared the number of “miles to Griffiths Bros Teas”.

This culture of innovation has allowed Griffiths to survive as one of the few 100% Australian-owned coffee roasters, with only three owners in 128 years.
