In the 1890s, Frederik Glenton worked in Johannesburg as a linoleum layer with the Transvaal Rubber Company. His dream was to start a tea company, but he was working hard to save money to bring his fiancée across from England. Eventually he achieved his goal, and went to meet his beloved at the docks. To publicise their tea, the friends had a wagon made to distribute their product. The wagon was pulled by two horses Jo and Ko and soon became synonymous with high-quality tea. The rest, as they say, is history.
