Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The Pandan Tea Company (1933) was established in March 1933 as a reconstruction of the Pandan Tea Company. The latter had been established in January 1923 and acquired all the shares in Tjisadea Tea Company, Tjdadap (Java) Plantation Company and Pandan Aroem Syndicate which held estates in Java.

After the Japanese occupation during World War Two the business did not recover, and the company sustained large losses and was wound down. The company's offices were at 22 Fenchurch St 1933-34; and 58 Mark Lane 1934-57.
