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.
