What is Red River Tea?
Founded in 1996 by Jeff Farris and Rick Scheer, Red River Tea Company emerged from a desire to provide high-quality fresh-brewed tea, a product they found lacking in convenience stores. The company has since become a leading supplier of fresh-brewed teas under its TEAZZERS brand and private labels, serving both convenience stores and food service institutions. Red River Tea is recognized for its commitment to innovation, having re-engineered equipment and introduced novel flavors. In 2016, the company expanded its offerings with a line of TEAZZERS ready-to-drink teas and juices, further solidifying its market presence and demonstrating a continuous drive to meet evolving consumer demands and industry needs.
