Red Rose

Our story

The origins of Red Rose can be traced to Atlantic Canada over 100 year ago, when Theodore Harding Estabrooks was born in Wicklow, New Brunswick in 1861.

In 1894 Estabrooks opened the doors to his own business on Dock Street in Saint John, blending and packing teas that would offer his customers the highest quality beverage experience cup after cup. The idea of a pre-blended and packaged tea was innovative, and the business quickly expanded throughout Atlantic Canada and, eventually, into the United States as well.

The perfect cup

Tea can keep you feeling warm and also help you de-stress. Of course, laughter, conversation and great ideas are also born out of these genuine moments. Whether we start our day with a cup of tea, drink it together or alone, or serve it to welcome guests into our homes, enjoying a cup of tea is a cherished ritual for people around the world.

Host the perfect Tea get together!

Bringing good friends together can get more and more difficult as time goes on. Career, household responsibilities and life’s little surprises can all conspire to leave you disconnected from those you care about. That’s why it’s so important to plan time to spend with friends and family. Planning events in advance gives you a date to work toward, as well as providing others with advance notice, and maybe time to hire a baby sitter!

Our commitment to sustainability

Can a cup of tea be good for the soul, and good for the planet? We think it can. By committing to future-friendly farming and harvesting practices, and the good of workers, communities and the environment, Red Rose is supporting sustainable tea growing and production.
