THE TEA FACTORY LIMITED
Company number 05197523 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
The Tea Factory Limited operates as a niche, micro-entity within the highly competitive UK tea and spices wholesale sector, relying on an agile, owner-managed structure. While the company's net assets decreased from £35,926 to £23,269 in 2025, this masks a significant underlying recovery; the firm successfully transitioned from technical insolvency in 2022/2023 to a stabilized position by aggressively paying down current liabilities and vastly improving its working capital. Despite this positive deleveraging, the company remains highly vulnerable to commodity volatility and competitive pressures due to its extremely thin capital base and lack of economies of scale.
