Canadian-owned · made in Canada · based in Ontario

Toronto, ON CA · www.tealish.com
Tealish is a two founder Canadian tea blender that opened its first Toronto shop in 2005, later ran a Roncesvalles flagship that doubled as head office, and now sells online, hand packing orders that ship from Vancouver. Its teas and botanicals come from China, Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Africa and South America, so the Canadian share sits in the blending, packing and ownership rather than the leaf.

The FAQ says the company is proudly Canadian and the About page presents co-founders Laura and Mike as still running it, with no sign of an outside investor or parent. Corporations Canada returned zero results for tealish, so the entity is presumably an Ontario or BC corporation; the Ontario Business Registry and BC Registry could not be checked, and the terms page names only the trade name Tealish Fine Teas at 367 Roncesvalles Ave, Toronto.

No page says where the blends are mixed. The site says orders are hand packed to order and ship from Vancouver, British Columbia, the 2019 site described the Roncesvalles store as the creative hub and head office, and Amazon.ca lists the country of origin as Canada, all of which point to in-house blending and packing in Canada. The 0.8 split is an estimate that leaves room for some flavoured blends arriving pre-blended from overseas suppliers, which small tea brands commonly do.

The FAQ says green teas come from China and Japan, black teas from India and Sri Lanka, rooibos from Africa and yerba mate from South America, and tea is not grown in Canada, so the leaf is almost entirely OTHER. The small CA and EU shares are an estimate for packaging, the Shopify storefront, and European sourced herbs such as peppermint and chamomile, none of which the vendor itemizes.
