Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers three.
Every fiddler he had a fiddle,
And a very fine fiddle had he;
Oh there's none so rare, as can compare
With King Cole and his fiddlers three
I love this tea, simply. The company is based in Saint John, New Brunswick and has been around since the beginning of last century, celebrating their 100th anniversary last year! This tea is stronger than your average teabag because it's intentionally made for two cups, aka a teapot. Unlike the common brands of Orange Pekoe, it does not feel like dust in a paper bag, but tea leaves in cloth bag.
So, for the convenience of not having to buy loose leaf tea, this is my favourite brand, at the moment. It's a bit hard to come by as you have to buy it at Sobeys or Sobeys affiliate grocery stores, but I noticed that their website has a store locator ("Tea map," see it here: http://www.kingcole.ca/tea-map/)
