All about Red Rose Tea
Red Rose was first sold in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada. It all began in 1894 when Theodore Harding Estabrooks began packaging a quality blended tea that would taste the same from brew to brew. Traditionally tea had been sold loose meaning that consistency was difficult to find.
Red Rose tea was sold in the Canadian Atlantic Provinces but soon expanded to the Northern parts of the USA close to the Canadian border. Tea bags were introduced in 1929.
