Our Family Tradition at Revolution Tea

At Revolution Tea, part of the LIFEBRANDS family, we cherish more than just the art of tea — we honor traditions built over nearly 150 years. Our story is rooted in the legacy of pioneer Johann Carl Ferdinand Ellerbrock, who established one of Europe’s oldest tea trading houses. Today, this family heritage is carried forward by Lars Frederik Ellerbrock, a fourth-generation tea expert.
Together with his wife, Caroline Ellerbrock, he has helped grow Revolution Tea into one of America’s most trusted tea brands of the decade.

At Revolution Tea, every blend reflects our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and exceptional flavor. Using carefully selected tea leaves, botanicals, and natural ingredients, we create teas that are both distinctive and approachable. From timeless classics to innovative flavor combinations, each product is thoughtfully developed to deliver a memorable tea experience. Whether enjoyed hot or iced, our teas are crafted to inspire moments of enjoyment in every cup.

Passionate through Generations

While our heritage shapes who we are, our passion for innovation drives what we create. At Revolution® Tea, we are constantly exploring new flavors, refining blends, and finding better ways to share exceptional tea with the world. As a family-driven company, we believe in building something meaningful — not only for today’s tea lovers but for future generations. That means embracing creativity while also honoring our responsibility to source thoughtfully and craft products we can be proud of. After all, every revolution is built on tradition, care, and the promise of what comes next.

From Farm to Cup

Direct Trade and the Art of Pure Tea at Revolution Tea

At Revolution Tea, we choose direct trade to keep our paths clear and our products pure. This approach allows us to maintain close relationships with the family-run farms that grow our tea, ensuring we source only the finest raw materials. Our tea sommeliers taste the hand-picked fresh leaves right at the source, selecting only the best for our esteemed Revolution Tea range.
