G.E. Barbour has been producing quality Canadian food products since 1867, with the King Cole Tea brand officially launching in 1910 out of Sussex, New Brunswick. Today, the company remains Canadian-owned and operated, blending, testing, and packaging all products domestically. The AASANA line is a modern wellness-focused extension of that long-standing tradition, built around clean, plant-based herbal blends. What sets AASANA apart is its inclusion of Bcalm L-Theanine, a patented form of the naturally occurring amino acid found in true teas, designed to promote relaxation without drowsiness and without the caffeine. The brand positions itself as the first herbal tea line to combine flavourful herbals with this functional ingredient, making it a practical choice for those seeking a calming cup at any hour. The Mandarin Orange variety is a lively, fruit-forward blend of moringa, strawberry leaves, orange pieces, cinnamon, and dandelion leaves, brightened with natural citrus character and rounded out by Bcalm L-Theanine. It drinks well on its own, without milk, and suits any time of day, particularly evenings when a caffeine-free option is welcome. The teabag format makes it straightforward to brew at home or at a desk. How to brew the perfect cup Boil fresh water and allow it to cool slightly to around 200°F (93°C). Place one teabag in your mug and pour over the hot water. Steep for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer it. Remove the teabag and enjoy as is. No milk needed. How does it compare? Fruit-forward: London Fruit & Herb Peach Paradise Tea Spiced herbal: Heath & Heather Apple & Cinnamon Tea Caffeine-free fruit: London Fruit & Herb Blackcurrant Tea London Fruit & Herb's Peach Paradise and Blackcurrant teas are straightforward caffeine-free fruit infusions from England, bright and easy-drinking without any functional additions. Heath & Heather's Apple & Cinnamon shares the warm spiced character of the Mandarin Orange blend but leans more firmly into apple and baking spice. The Aasana Mandarin Orange stands apart from all three through its Bcalm L-Theanine inclusion, which gives it a specific wellness purpose beyond flavour alone.
