Tetley Tea was founded in Jamaica in 1967. It initially produced only black tea under the Tetley brand as well as providing contract manufacturing arrangements.

The company was acquired by the current father and son team of Adeeb and John Mahfood in 1995.

Since then, the Tetley product range has been considerably expanded and the Caribbean Dreams range was launched. The company operates under a license arrangement with Tetley UK (www.tetley.com).

The company has the rights to service the entire Caribbean as well as central and south America for the Tetley brand. We however may sell the Caribbean Dreams brand worldwide and presently sell to North America in addition to the Caribbean.

Tetley UK is the largest provider of tea in the UK and is the inventor of the round tea bag. Tetley Jamaica is the largest producer of tea in the Caribbean.
