New Brunswick is one of Canadian Atlantic provinces. New Brunswick was also one of the first provinces to join the Dominion of Canada in 1867, the same year two Barbour brothers established a food wholesale business in Saint John. In 1910, the King Cole, from a British nursery rhyme "Old King Cole", tea brand was introduced. Red Rose is another brand that traces its origins to Saint John, New Brunswick.

After over 100 years, King Cole tea continues to be popular in the maritime provinces, more so than Nova Scotia's Morse's tea. It was reported that a 60's box of King Cole tea was presented to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Moncton, NB, during her Royal visit to Canada in 2002.

King Cole Orange Pekoe tea is a blend of black teas from Asia and Africa. Each tea bag makes a mug of full-bodied, bold, malty but comforting tea with or without milk. It's strong, dark and good as a breakfast tea.
