Guess who founded the American Flag Tea Co.?
I've been thinking about the fact that our country turns 250 this year, and I was wondering whether any tea companies ever had "US" or "America" in the name, so I was delighted to come across this graphic for the American Flag Tea Co. on the Library of Congress website.
Aside from the whimsical graphics, do you notice anything else here? I was struck by the name "E. A. Zatarain."
I mean, how many "Zatarains" can there be in this country, and indeed, Emile A. Zatarain Sr. of New Orleans founded the company whose Zatarain's mixes I still buy today when I want a fast version of red beans and rice or jambalaya. Just a fun little tidbit in America's ever-growing tea history!
