Loose Leaf Black Tea Origin The tea garden in Chamong became a tea plantation as early as 1871. Stretching over 332 hectares of land, Chamong is set into the side of a hill and its altitude ranges from 1150 metres to 1850 metres above sea level. Only about 132 hectares of this space is given to the tea plantation, while a small area holds a tea factory and village for workers. Tea Description Tea

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 R.TWINING AND COMPANY LIMITED, number 00525071. 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
Stated by the company: "The same building is now number 216 Strand, the famous Twinings shop that still exists today." Source.
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
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
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.
