Canton Lapsang Souchong Loose Leaf Tea 250g

Select Catering Solutions

£50.55

Authentic and rare (unlike most tea going by this name) our Lapsang Souchong comes from Tong Mu, the tiny village in the Wuyi Mountains where it was invented in 1610. The first of all other black teas, it is still made today using traditional artisan techniques with the leaves lightly smoked over smouldering pine wood embers. For the ideal cup of Canton Lapsang Souchong, steep 4g of loose leaf in 250ml of 95°C water for three minutes. Inevitably the wood smoke comes through in aroma and taste, but with a softness that can only be found in authentic Lapsang Souchong. This is the smooth taste of

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as SELECT CATERING SOLUTIONS LIMITED, number 06645205. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
