Ship’s Log: Entry No. 001 — A New Voyage Begins

She’s Sea-Worthy — But Still Finding Her Course

The ship has set sail — but she’s still finding her rhythm with the tides.

Our new Rising Tide Tea website is officially live! She’s sea-worthy, but still in sea trials — a few sails to trim, a few ropes to tighten, and plenty more to come aboard.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be adding new teas and blends, fresh accessories, and exciting holiday arrivals — all crafted with the same care and coastal spirit you’ve come to expect from Rising Tide Tea.

We appreciate your patience (and your curiosity!) as we continue to build out this new online harbour. The journey has just begun — and we’re thrilled to have you on deck with us.

The Tide Turns. A New Chapter Sets Sail.

Every tide brings a moment of renewal — and this week, ours begins.
From the same harbour where Saint John once shipped Red Rose Tea across the world, a new story now unfolds.

Our new website is more than just a place to shop — it’s a reflection of who we are:
Rooted in heritage. Honouring Saint John’s 130-year tea tradition.
Carried by the tides. Inspired by the rhythm and power of the Bay of Fundy.
Crafted with care. Built for those who believe in community, connection, and authenticity.

What You’ll Discover On Board

• Our Collections — from heritage black teas to tide-inspired greens and soothing wellness blends.

• Our Story — tracing our journey from Xtea Co. to Queens Coast Trading Company, and now, to Saint John as Rising Tide Tea.

• Shop Local, Anywhere — artisan teas and gifts now available to order wherever the tide takes you.

• Stories from the Dock — new blends, local partnerships, and seasonal arrivals shared right here in the Ship’s Log.

Why It Matters

For us, this isn’t just a launch — it’s a like a homecoming.

Saint John has a new local tea company. It’s ben a long time since the Red Rose factory closed its doors in 1988. Nearly four decades later, that tradition returns — reimagined for today, but steeped in the same Maritime spirit that’s always defined us.

This website marks another step in that journey — one that connects the past, present, and future of tea in Canada’s oldest city.
