Red Rose Tea is a beverage company established by Theodore Harding Estabrooks in 1894 in New Brunswick. Its tea is made from only the top two leaves of the rose (citation needed), thus ensuring the best quality tea leaves from each flower.

Red Rose's old commercials introduced the catchphrase, "Only in Canada, you say? Pity...." However, the tea has been available in the United States since the 1920s.

The brand is owned by Unilever in Canada, and by Redco in the U.S.
