Misleading website
Misleading website. They're very vocal about being Canadian owned but zero mention on their website about not being made in Canada. You can absolutely buy imported teak and manufacture the utensils here; the excuse of teak growing in Thailand is a silly response to another review here for why they aren't made here. It's fine if they're made abroad but don't try and stamp Canadian on every page of your website and social media to basically maple wash it as being a Canadian product. The business owner chose to leave that part out for a reason despite having a large FAQ section. There's even an FAQ that's say the teak is "sourced from Thailand", why no mention that they're made there? "Orders are fulfilled through our trusted warehouse and logistics partners." Classic drop shipping lingo.
With all the drop shipping "Canadian" companies popping up (their website registered April 06 2026) it's difficult to trust the brand.
Respuesta de Teakora
Hi,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. We’d like to clarify a few points, as some of the statements in this review are inaccurate.
Teakora is **Canadian-owned and operated**, and our Canadian team oversees our product standards and quality control. Being Canadian owned does not mean that every component of a product must be manufactured in Canada.
Our teakwood is sourced directly from **Thailand**, where teak is naturally grown. We work with an **established, family owned teak producer in Thailand**, along with skilled local craftsmen and artisans who manufacture our products and bring our designs to life. **Our teakora utensils are made in Thailand, not China.**
We also want to clarify that international fulfillment or logistics should not be confused with manufacturing. Because our supply chain involves international partners, tracking information may show other countries during transit. This does not mean the products were manufactured in those locations.
As for the website and the claim that we are attempting to disguise imported products as Canadian made, that is not our intention. We identify Teakora as Canadian owned and operated because that is what the company is. We do not claim that the teak itself is grown or that the utensils are manufactured in Canada.
We appreciate that customers want transparency about where products come from, and we take that concern seriously. We’ll continue working to make our sourcing and manufacturing information as clear as possible. We are also open to answering any questions anyone has about how we source and produce our products.
Best,
Teakora Customer Experience Team
