G.E. Barbour has been blending tea in Atlantic Canada since 1910, making it the only tea manufacturer in the region. Based in Sussex, New Brunswick, the company has spent over a century sourcing from world-renowned tea gardens and building a reputation for quality that extends from its flagship King Cole Tea to newer, wellness-focused lines. AASANA is the company's most recent brand, developed to meet demand for clean, plant-based herbal blends. All AASANA teas are blended and packaged in Canada using ethically sourced ingredients. The standout feature of the range is the inclusion of Bcalm L-Theanine, a patented form of the naturally occurring amino acid found in traditional tea, which is added to the herbal base to deliver a sense of calm without any caffeine.
Rooibos Lemon Sunshine combines naturally caffeine-free rooibos with bright lemon, producing a cup that is light, smooth, and gently citrusy. It drinks well on its own, without milk, and works equally well hot or cold. The lemon keeps things fresh without tipping into sharpness, and the rooibos base adds a soft, rounded body. A sound choice for any time of day, whether mid-afternoon or last thing at night.
