While running a humble tea and oyster soup shop in Guangdong, China, Lee Kum Sheung had a happy accident; one day in 1888, he simmered his oysters for too long. His normally clear oyster soup had turned into a thick brown sauce with a rich aroma and an astonishingly complex flavor. Lee knew he had accidentally made something wonderful! He created the Lee Kum Kee brand to promote his newly-invented oyster sauce, and as the sauce's popularity began to grow, so did his company. Though today, Lee Kum Kee is an international brand that is well-known throughout China and around the world, this family-owned business has remained rooted in its beginnings as a simple company founded on delicious flavor. Lee Kum Kee offers a wide variety of traditional Chinese sauces and condiments and is constantly creating innovative new flavors that set the standard for great taste. Whether you're looking for authentic Chinese flavor or delicious condiments to help you keep up with industry trends, Lee Kum Kee offers something for every establishment.
