Sir Thomas Johnson Lipton is the original owner of Lipton Tea. This newly created tea was first started in Glasgow, Scotland. Sir Thomas's initial goal was to go out and search for the best tea with high quality but also a reasonable price for others enjoyment. He first came to this idea because before Lipton tea, other tea's were very expensive. Sir Thomas's accomplished goal stood right when he established his first tea packing company in Hoboken, New Jersey. Sir Thomas led the U.S to further success because Lipton controlled 50 percent of the tea making in America around the 1990's.
This business did make the US a more successful nation. By lowering the price from 50 cents, to 30 cents a lot more people started buying the tea, so the sales skyrocketed. What changed about the way they were making the tea, causing it to be a lot cheaper? After reviewing notes from prior classes, I came to the conclusion that is was because the plantations were being run by the cheap labor of African Slaves in Sri Lanka. Now, after having said that, Do you still think the US was successful?
