Morse's is Canada's oldest tea blend, first blended in 1870 on the Halifax waterfront specifically to suit Nova Scotians' taste for a proper, full-bodied cup. The recipe hasn't changed since - the same blend that generations of Maritime families have grown up drinking. Orange Pekoe refers to the grade of tea leaf rather than any flavour, indicating whole, high-quality leaves rather than dust or fannings. Full-bodied, smooth, and satisfying with a clean, refreshing finish. The kind of tea that doesn't need to announce itself - just a consistently good cup that works at any time of day. A true Canadian institution, particularly beloved across Atlantic Canada and the Maritime provinces where tea culture runs deep. If you enjoy Morse's, 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. Works well with or without milk. A shorter steep keeps it lighter and more refreshing. How does it compare? Similar to King Cole Orange Pekoe Similar to Lyons Original Similar to Bewley's Original Blend King Cole Orange Pekoe is the closest direct comparison - both are Canadian Maritime institution teas with a similar smooth, full-bodied everyday character. Lyons Original and Bewley's Original are the closest Irish comparisons - all three are light, balanced, and built for all-day drinking.
