WHO IS ROSIE LEE?

That's Cockney slang for cuppa tea!

Rosie Lee Imports' owner is the lovely, multi-faceted Susan (pronounced Suzanne) Malloy.

Susan grew up on a farm in Shropshire, lived in Liverpool and London, spent ten years in Germany working for British Airways, and now resides in the beach town of Ventura on California's Central Coast — which is why she understands those unquenchable yearnings for home. (It also may help explain the multi-faceted bit we mentioned earlier. Try a quick mouse-over of her photo ->)

Er, at any rate, if you're looking to find a particular tea or comestible with that unforgettable taste of home — or even if you just fancy a good natter with someone without an accent — ring up Susan at the shop! 805-643-5832
