King Cole has been blending tea in Canada since 1910 and is the most popular tea brand in Atlantic Canada and the Maritime provinces. Their Orange Pekoe is their flagship - full-sized premium Orange Pekoe grade leaves, a grading system that refers to the size and quality of the leaf rather than any flavour. Simple, honest, and consistently good cup after cup. Smooth, medium bodied, and approachable with a clean, satisfying finish. The kind of everyday tea that works at breakfast, mid-morning, and mid-afternoon without ever feeling too heavy or too demanding. A North American institution for anyone who grew up drinking proper tea. If you enjoy King Cole, our Scotch and Abram's Britannia Blend is our take on that same smooth, balanced everyday cup - medium bodied, golden, and easy drinking. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength. Add milk if you like. It holds up well either way. Works morning, afternoon, or evening. How does it compare? Similar to Typhoo Similar to Yorkshire Tea Similar to Glengettie Typhoo is the closest mainstream British comparison - both are smooth, no-nonsense everyday black teas built for consistent drinking. Yorkshire Tea is worth comparing if you want something with a little more body and malt. Glengettie is the closest Welsh equivalent - same reliable, all-day character with a similar soft water heritage.
