In the U.S., Twinings is probably the most popular English brand of tea. However, PG Tips is much more popular in the U.K. Yorkshire tea is also popular. But both Twinings and PG Tips sell most of their tea as tea bags. In loose-leaf tea, it's a much more diverse marketplace, and there is no clear leader. A lot of black teas are marketed as English Breakfast in the U.S. whereas in England they're just labelled "tea":

In order to properly store tea so as to preserve the flavor of the loose-leaf tea, store the tea in an airtight container, away from sunlight. More detail about storage, and how long tea stays fresh, can be found here:
