Uncle Lee's Tea

The vendor's own site calls Uncle Lee's Tea Inc. an independently owned company based in Southern California that works closely with Taiwan's Ten Ren and its Ten Fu subsidiary, while Well.ca's brand page calls it a subsidiary of Ten Ren Tea Group. The split is a judgment between those two claims, weighted toward the vendor's current statement. Corporations Canada returned zero results, EDGAR has no filing, and the California Secretary of State search blocked the request, so no registry settled it.

The vendor says the majority of its teas are grown in Fujian province, China, with others from India and North Africa, and captions a photo Uncle Lee's Farm in China. No page says where the leaf is blended and bagged; the small US share allows for finishing at the California office and is an estimate.
