Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

Corporations Canada lists Pluck Tea Inc. (837839-8, CBCA, active) with founder Jennifer Commins as the sole individual with significant control, holding more than 50% and up to 75% of shares directly, and all four directors at Toronto addresses. The remaining minority holders are not named; nothing indicates a foreign stake, and the site calls itself an independent, woman-owned Canadian company. Two consecutive annual filings are overdue, so the register may be stale.

The vendor states it blends and packs in Toronto and makes all tea bags at its midtown Toronto facility, which holds SQF certification. The exception is matcha, which is ground to order and packed in final packaging in Japan; the 0.1 share for that line is an estimate by product count.

Camellia sinensis does not grow in Canada; the vendor names Rwanda Mountain Tea for its Pekoe teas and Kagoshima, Japan for matcha, with other leaves from equatorial farms. Canadian botanicals (Prince Edward County lavender, Ontario ginseng, Nova Scotia berries, Quebec maple, Toronto cacao shells) feature in about fifteen blends, and the split is an estimate. Tea bag material origin is not disclosed; the storefront is Shopify.
