About Us

Welcome to Okanagan Tea Company, where every sip tells a story of passion, perseverance, and a deep-rooted connection to the land. Our journey began amidst the picturesque landscapes of Lake Country, far removed from the urban hustle of Los Angeles. Driven by a desire for a farming lifestyle and a commitment to sustainability, Jamie and Glenn Rose embarked on a remarkable adventure to realize their dream.

Innovation and Growth: At Okanagan Tea Company, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. Our journey began with a simple idea: to utilize every part of the fruits grown in our orchard. From salvaging blemished fruits to creating a line of exquisite teas, we are committed to minimizing waste and maximizing flavour. 

Our Roots: To create Rose Family Orchard, Jamie & Glenn left behind their careers in California and set their sights on Canadian soil. With meticulous planning and a dedication to sustainable farming, their vision was transformed into reality in under two years. in 2016 they won the Agricultural Innovator of the Year from the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce. Everything was going as planned until 2017, when Jamie and her son Aidan were in a severe car accident that left them unable to continue farming. They tried to continue for several years with limited success and ultimately sold the orchard in 2020. 

Looking Ahead: As we look to the future, our vision for Okanagan Tea Company extends far beyond the orchard gates. With our community's unwavering support and our team's dedication, we are poised to continue our journey toward a sustainable, vibrant future.
