Thomas J. Lipton was born in 1850 in Glasgow, Scotland. At 15 he went to the States with $8.00 in his pocket. After working in various jobs down south, he landed up in New York, working in the retail trade and learning a lot about it.
He returned to his home, opened up a store and grew from there. Eventually buying several debunk coffee plantations in Ceylon after the crop failed and turning them into tea plantations; therefore launching into the tea business. Brisk Tea was a phrase he coined.
