When I was a child my mom would make my dad a pitcher of iced tea using Red Rose. She would never let anyone drink it because he loved it so much. I remember sneaking into the kitchen when I was 6, taking out a glass, and drinking my first cup of Red Rose Iced Tea. I was in love. From then on out my mother made two pitchers of tea: one for me and one for my father."

I started drinking Red Rose Tea as a child while visiting my grandmother in Detroit. Back then, a special collector's card was in each box – flowers, birds or butterflies. I filled many of the special booklets that were available for each collection. Now we collect the little porcelain figurines. I have always enjoyed Red Rose Tea and it is the only brand I buy. I even take my own supply with me on vacation! I hope I am able to create memories with my future grandchildren!"

My mother raised me on Red Rose Tea, and when I got married in 1970, I started my own tradition with Red Rose. I have collected every single figurine they put in the tea boxes. I started my two daughters on Red Rose, now I have my granddaughter in the tradition, so that makes four generations of Red Rose Tea drinkers. We always say it is not a good cup of tea unless it is Red Rose Tea."

My great-grandmother was an English woman with roots in Norfolk, England. She loved her tea and drank several cups a day. She was a homemaker and a farmer's wife. Red Rose Tea was her favorite. I feel connected to my family history every time I drink a cup of Red Rose."

My most unforgettable memory was waking up at my grandmother's cottage and sharing a cup of tea and scones with her as we sat by the old stone kitchen fireplace talking about how we would spend our day. It is a memory that I have cherished for 50 years."

I enjoy my Red Rose Tea with cardamom and ginger. I feel so warm, relaxed and comfortable curling up with a book."

My grandmother, the daughter of British ex-pats, always served tea at 3 p.m. It was always Red Rose. Now, the scent of Red Rose Tea brewing in my own kitchen never fails to bring me back to the days when I'd sip Red Rose from my grandmother's best tea cups. The tradition continues with my son who always asks me to make a cup for him when he comes home from college. Thanks for being part of my family's memories and traditions!"

My great great grandma introduced me to Red Rose Tea. She is my backbone to my heart and soul. Everything I do she is a part of. Summers at grams' cooking pies and all sorts of treats made my childhood special. Tea was our bond that I keep forever. I'm researching to find the right tattoo that symbolizes my love for my grandma. This is my start and the Red Rose Tea symbol is perfect! The tea passes through our generations like the need for water."

I am surprised at how many of the shared stories sound like mine. As far back as I can remember, we went to my grandmother's house every Sunday and the ladies of the family would gather at my grandmother's table to catch up for the week. I remember the remarkable and delicious smell that wafted from the cups of Red Rose Tea. Someday I knew I would be old enough to have a seat around the table. Sadly the ladies passed before I got my seat, but the tradition continues with me and my sister. Red Rose Tea is just so smooth and delicious, and has a lot of my memories stored in every cup."

My grandmother, being Irish, loved tea. I would buy her two boxes of Red Rose loose tea each Christmas. She enjoyed every drop. Thank you for asking for memories as it brought back a special one for me."

My family has been drinking Red Rose for over 30 years. It started when my family was invited to a friend's house and they served Red Rose. And the rest is history. My mom to this day makes a pitcher of iced tea with dinner. Now that I am married I still make iced tea. In the morning I make hot tea, and for lunch and dinner iced tea. This is the only tea that my family and I drink. When my girlfriends come over I always serve Red Rose iced tea. They love it. My friend says this is the best tea. I tell her naturally it's Red Rose. In fact I need to order a new case. Thanks Red Rose for giving my family such good memories."

I have been drinking Red Rose Tea for as long as I can remember. I remember sitting at my grandma's kitchen table. I watched, intrigued by the many tea bags hanging out of the teapot as she placed it on the table. I smiled at my mom both excited and full of anticipation … Talking with my mom recently, I discovered that she too had her first cup of tea sitting at her grandmother's kitchen table 70 years ago. No wonder all five of my sisters have Red Rose Tea in their kitchens."

My grandmother started me drinking Red Rose Tea when I was 5. She moved to the United States from Ireland and said that Red Rose Tea was as close as she could get to her tea from home and it was all she drank. As such, I have been drinking Red Rose my entire life."

My mother always had tea parties with her three girls, with her special tea. Red Rose in her beautiful antique tea pot. I always use Red Rose."

There is nothing I enjoy more than an early morning alone in the kitchen with my hands around a warm cup of tea. The few minutes of calm and quiet help to get the day off to a good start."
