Tea returns to the Port City
Canada’s coastal tea company — emerging in Saint John, New Brunswick, where the world’s highest tides rise and fall. We craft premium organic loose-leaf teas that honour the region’s history of trade, community, and connection to the sea. Every blend is steeped in authenticity, inspired by nature, and rooted in the rhythm of the tides.
“Every tea, crafted by hand — one blend at a time.”
Premium, Organic Loose-Leaf
We remain devoted to premium, organic loose-leaf teas from authentic fairtrade farms.
Stories in Every Blend
Each blend embodies not just flavour, but stories — from farmers to communities, from coast to cup.
Rooted in Saint John
We celebrate heritage, community, and the enduring power of trade and storytelling.
Our Story
Our journey began in 2009 as Xtea Co., sourcing exceptional premium artisan trade teas from around the world. In 2020, we journeyed to the beautiful South Shore of Nova Scotia as Queens Coast Trading Company, discovering our newfound coastal identity.
Now, in 2025, we emerge as Rising Tide Tea in Saint John, New Brunswick — drawn by Canada’s oldest city’s rich tea heritage as the birthplace of Red Rose Tea, and inspired by its remarkable, vibrant resurgence.
Here, where the Bay of Fundy’s dramatic tidal symphony demonstrates nature’s power to rise and transform, we find inspiration that mirrors our craft.
Like tea leaves that rise when water awakens their essence, Saint John’s tea legacy runs deep, and we’re proud to rise with this city’s remarkable resurgence.
Like the Fundy tides, we are shaped by history yet constantly moving forward — carrying stories, flavours, and connections across oceans.
