About us

Tan Rosie – A mother-and-daughter business bringing you authentic Caribbean sauces, spices, and cookery lessons with a taste of family tradition!

Tan Rosie is a mother-and-daughter business created by Monica and Lee, based in Birmingham, inspired by their family roots in Carriacou, Grenada.

Tan Rosie was a beloved figure in her community. Her granddaughter Monica was inspired by her and decided to name the business after her. The name ‘Tan’ is an affectionate name for ‘Aunt’ in the Caribbean – Aunty, Tanty, Tan. The name 'Tan Rosie' is a tribute to her Caribbean roots and the love and respect she commanded from everyone who knew her.

Tan Rosie was from the island of Carriacou in Grenada. Carriacou (pronounced: Carry-a-koo), is the 2nd largest of the 3 island state of Grenada which includes Petite Martinique. It’s located north of Grenada in the Caribbean. It’s an English speaking island with a rich cultural heritage.
