Red Rose Decaffeinated Orange Pekoe
This carton holds 48 bags, not the bigger regular box. Red Rose added a decaf orange pekoe for people who want the same black tea with almost no caffeine.
The brand began with Theodore Estabrooks in Saint John. Ownership now sits with Lipton Teas and Infusions in the Netherlands. The Canadian company brings the tea in from sister firms overseas.

Our Canadian score
Imported
Red Rose decaf is an imported black tea. The Canadian office sells it, and the company that owns the brand is Dutch. Nothing on the carton page places the packing in Canada.

This score is our own read of publicly available evidence, not a regulatory finding. It is not a CFIA or Competition Bureau origin determination, and it is not the same as the "Product of Canada" or "Made in Canada" claims a manufacturer prints on a label.
