History
At the age of 20, Nailah Ellis-Brown founded her Detroit beverage company, Ellis Infinity, LLC., in 2008 and began brewing her family recipe for hibiscus tea in her mother's kitchen and selling it from a cooler in her car. Today, Ellis-Brown's antioxidant rich hibiscus tea - named Ellis Island Tropical Tea - is brewed in a state-of-the-art production facility in Detroit and is sold in upscale, quality markets across Michigan, in Chicago and New York. The natural beverage is poised for expansion to quality markets throughout the Midwest. Ellis Island Tea is brewed from a recipe handed down from Nailah Ellis-Brown's Jamaican great-grandfather Cyril Byron. The bottled, ready-to-drink tea contains 100 percent natural ingredients including hibiscus, rose hips and peppermint leaves. The family recipe and the process Nailah Ellis-Brown uses to brew her hibiscus tea sets it apart from any other bottled iced tea on the market in taste, color and quality.
