Details

A nice cup of tea has the power to warm the heart, mind and spirit. While this is true at any time of day, it is even more so at the break of dawn. Every morning across the great Province of Ontario, the ritual of steeping leaves, straining the pot and adding milk, sugar, lemon or honey finds thousands of adherents all seeking the perfect start to their day.

Ontario has been the setting for the perfect morning cuppa for hundreds of years. The first shipments of tea are thought to have arrived in the port of York (now Toronto) prior to the city's founding in 1793. Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe, (1752-1806) originally from England and a known tea lover is rumored to have commissioned the first shipment. As drinking tea became increasingly fashionable in the steadily urbanizing new city, slowly but surely its popularity began to take hold throughout the province's northerly reaches as well. In 1874, with the founding of the Hudson's Bay Company's first settlement on the shores of Lake Nipissing, tea was introduced to the inhabitants of the province's interior. Legend has it these early northern tea drinkers took to sweetening their cup with fresh maple sap or syrup - yum.

To commemorate the beverage's long history in the Province, we're pleased to offer this fabulous morning tea, Ontario Breakfast. To develop the blend, we've sourced leaf from only the top 2% of growers worldwide and selected varieties traditionally associated with breakfast - full bodied Assams, South Indian, Chinese, Kenyan and Sri Lankan teas. To fill out the blend, we've added a dash of Earl Grey to reflect Ontario's colonial past. The resulting infusion is superb. Bright and piquant on the nose, the cup is deep and malty, peppered with hints of jam, toast and delicate tones of citrus. Here's to a bright Ontario morning.
