{"product_id":"bluenose-orange-pekoe-tea","title":"Bluenose Orange Pekoe Tea","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-body-text\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eBluenose Tea is a product of the G.E. Barbour company, the same New Brunswick outfit that has been producing King Cole Tea since 1910. Barbours itself dates to 1867, founded in Saint John, NB, the same year Canada became a confederation. The Bluenose name is a badge of Maritime Canadian identity, and this orange pekoe blend carries that regional pride in every box. Blended and packed in Sussex, New Brunswick, Bluenose Tea is a product built for those who know their cup well: straightforward, honest, and without pretension. It is sold in a 72-teabag box and, until recently, had been off the market for some time before making its return as a distinct offering within the Barbours family of brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis is a classic orange pekoe black tea in the Maritime Canadian tradition: a reliably consistent, medium-strength cup that suits morning drinking and sits well with milk. It shares the approachable character common to Atlantic Canadian tea culture, where a good strong cup is a daily staple rather than an occasion. Brew it in a warmed mug, add milk if you like, and you have exactly what it promises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; font-family: var(--font-heading--family); color: #1f1f1f;\"\u003eHow to brew the perfect cup\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col class=\"brewing-steps\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBring fresh cold water to a full boil, around 212°F (100°C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWarm your mug by rinsing it with a little hot water first, then discard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlace one teabag in the mug and pour the boiling water directly over it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on your preferred strength.

Thompson's Signature Blend is a Northern Irish everyday tea that steps up the strength a notch for those who want more punch. Bewley's Original Blend is the Irish counterpart, similarly unpretentious and built for daily drinking, but with a softer, slightly more rounded finish than Bluenose's clean, brisk cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"King Cole Tea","offers":[{"title":"72 Teabags","offer_id":51310065123634,"sku":"BLNOP","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/2296\/1714\/files\/bluenose1.jpg?v=1781444008","url":"https:\/\/www.teadog.com\/products\/bluenose-orange-pekoe-tea","provider":"Teadog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
