What doed this line mean from The Clash's "Lost in the Supermarket"? Do coupons come in packets of tea in the U.K.? I recently went to London I didn't see any in packets of tea???

Yeah I went recently and may go a few more times this year for my job. We recently signed some agreements with a UK based Company so the possibility exists for more trips! I LOVE THE PLACE! But there were no coupons in packets of tea............!

The line refers to coupons that are ON the boxes of tea which you would cut off the box. These were usually for money off towards the next purchase of tea with the occasional coupon towards a promotional item.
