Canton Tea Co, the fine China tea specialists
Canton Tea Co specialises in high grade, whole leaf Chinese Tea.
We have a small, carefully chosen selection of Jasmine, White, Green, Oolong, Black and Puerh tea that is some of the very best available in the UK. Six of our teas won 2009 Great Taste Awards from the Guild of Fine Food. Our Jasmine Pearls Tea was the only Jasmine tea to win 3 stars - the highest accolade.
Provenance is everything
We can trace all our premium tea to growers who use traditional farming methods and work with the rhythm of the seasons. They uphold the principles of natural farming and the tea leaves are hand picked and rolled today just as they have been for two thousand years.
Tea doesn't get any better than this
From over 2,000 different teas in China, we have selected just 20 of the best White, Green, Oolong and Red teas. We buy seasonally, in small quantities, direct from traditional, family-run farms like Mr Xu's in Taiwan.
Our teas are rare and freshly-picked. They taste delicious and are said to be extremely good for you (packed with antioxidants). Take a look at our Seasonal Selection for some of best hand-produced teas available anywhere in the world.
"Your tea is mellow and divine."
