Who We Are

OUR HISTORY

When Theodore Estabrooks founded Red Rose in the 1890s, tea was sold loose from tea chests and its quality was wildly inconsistent. Recognizing that tea drinkers deserved something better, he dedicated himself to producing a quality blended tea that was consistent from cup to cup. For over 125 years, we’ve kept that promise. We’re committed to providing you with a perfectly balanced, great-tasting tea.

OUR PEOPLE

Over 300 employees come together to craft full-bodied, rich tea blends made for the tea lover with the same care that Theodore Harding Estabrooks established more than a century ago. We’re passionate about continuing the Red Rose tradition and sharing our love of tea with you.

OUR OWNERSHIP

Red Rose tea is produced under license by the Harris Tea Company. Behind a great cup of tea is a complex process involving many talented people, years of nurturing, a wealth of technology & continuous innovation. The strength of Harris Tea comes from our extensive knowledge and skill with over 200 years combined tea procuring and blending experience. Harris Tea Company operates four state-of-the-art tea blending and packing plants located in Georgia, New Jersey, California, and the United Kingdom.
