Salada tea

Salada tea

Salada tea is a manufacturer of tea. It is most known for the slightly tongue-in-cheek "witticisms" that appear on the back of the tag attached to its tea bags.

History

Salada tea was founded in 1892 by Montreal businessman Peter C. Larkin. Larkin's main innovation was to offer its tea packaged in foil packaging, as opposed to being sold in loose form from chests, which helped to establish a uniform, consistent flavor, and a guarantee of freshness to its drinkers. Salada became one of the leading teas in Canada and the northeastern United States.

By 1917, Salada was so popular in the US, that it was able to establish its own headquarters and blending and packaging plant in Boston, Massachusetts. This headquarter's large bronze doors are inscribed with images of the history of tea trade, as well as Larkin's own contributions to a commitment to quality in the field.

By the 1950s, Salada had established plants across North America. Salada is now a division of Redco Foods, Inc. in Little Falls, New York. [http://www.greentea.com/contact-us.aspx]
