A brisk, full-bodied blend of black teas with a touch of maple, which draws out the natural caramel and malty notes in the Ceylon and Keemun teas.
Brew hot and pour over ice for a truly Canadian iced tea!

My husband and I both love Canadian Breakfast so much, we drink it daily summer and winter. It has supplanted all other breakfast teas in our hearts! And if we're making a large pot so as to enjoy multiple cups, it's usually this tea. The maple note is mild, but it definitely adds something extra special to the already-delicious Ceylon/Keemun blend. I used to avoid flavoured teas as I'd tried so many that tasted artificial. Murchies knows how to do it right. This tea is one of the best, and there's a reason it's one of the few that you can buy in boxes of 100. It's that good and that well loved.
Posted on 2023-08-07Its like a great cuppa tea while eating a Timmies Maple Dip Donut !!!! but no calories WIN WIN
Posted on 2022-03-21The Canadian Breakfast blend has become my new favorite afternoon tea. Since I normally do not enjoy any "flavored" tea at all, the maple is so subtle that it compliments the black teas and in no way comes forward when enjoying my cuppa. I'm glad I sampled this one.
Posted on 2021-07-09After tasting this delicious blend, I can't last a day without having a "ME" tea time! It's so refreshing and I felt so privileged drinking the best of the best premium tea. Thank you for what you offer.
Posted on 2020-04-20Sorry Murchie's. I love maple syrup, and I love all your other teas, but the two really don't go together. It just tastes like drinking hot, watery maple syrup.
Posted on 2019-03-18Now this is a nice cuppa! Please keep it in stock - I would like to have this all year long.
Posted on 2017-08-12I'm not a fan of flavoured black teas, other than Earl Grey & such but I tried the Canadian Breakfast blend for the first time this morning and I'm pleasantly surprised. No artificial odd taste, not too sweet ... just a subtle hint of maple ... perfect for a rainy/snowy Canadian day!
Posted on 2016-10-19I love this tea blend. It's brisk but smooth, and so addictive.
Posted on 2016-08-20Canadian Breakfast is a wonderful morning tea, especially on a cold winter day! The hint of maple add to a beautiful blend. I love this tea and it's great that it is now available in 100 bag boxes. Cheers!
Posted on 2016-05-28I am a long time Murchies fan and think your teas are the best that you can buy. I was in Victoria recently and bought a small package of Canadian Breakfast. I am not a fan of sweet flavors so I was not sure I would like it. It is fabulous! The tea itself is lovely and balanced and strong enough for a good breakfast tea. The maple flavor is in perfect balance with the flavor of the tea and instead of being really sweet, you just taste the maple flavor with a hint of sweetness. I also bought a box of the decaf and it is equally good which is unusual for a decaf. The aroma is lovely too. PLEASE make this a permanent addition to your line. I am ordering more today!
Posted on 2015-11-23I ordered a sample box (10 bags) of Canadian Breakfast tea to see how I liked it. I was pleased to find that it is a delicious tea. The maple flavor makes it a special cup to drink, but it is balanced with a nice, smooth black tea so the maple flavor is enhancing the tea, not overpowering it. A great cup to have if you are having bacon for breakfast! I will certainly be ordering more of this one!
Posted on 2015-01-11I absolutely love this blend! I sincerely hope it stays as a permanent addition to all of your wonderful teas!

Tea and coffee tasting is a very individual, multi-dimensional experience: one person’s perfect cup can be too strong or weak, too brisk or watery for the next person. At Murchie’s, we believe that the best tea or coffee is the one that YOU like the best! We use the following flavour profile guides to help compare our teas and coffees within a relative scale.
This rating method indicates the strength of flavour each tea has when brewed according to our brewing guide.
RATING |
RATING PROFILE |
|
![]() |
Light/Delicate: Very light in colour and delicate in flavour | |
![]() |
Medium: Medium-light cup with slightly fuller cup | |
![]() |
Medium-Strong: Medium-dark cup, medium body, and full flavour without harshness | |

Strong: Full body, rich cup, takes milk well | |

Very Strong: Rich, dark cup with very full, strong flavour and briskness |
We rate the flavour properties of our coffees along two dimensions: roast and body.
Roast is simply a result of how long and how hot the beans have been roasted, which can be seen in the colour of the finished bean, and typically results in general flavour traits:
Light Roast | More acidity, brightness and a slight pucker | |
Medium Roast | Slightly richer flavours, some acidity, enhanced creaminess | |
Dark Roast | Distinctive roasted flavour, sometimes notes of toasted sugar or charcoal |
Body is the term used to describe how the brewed coffee feels in your mouth:
Light Body | Easy to drink with little lingering flavour, ‘thin’ or ‘clean’ feeling on the palate | |
Medium Body | Heavier, creamier mouth-feel with more lingering flavour | |
Full Body | Rich, full-mouth feeling: hits all of the palate and lingers |
Different types of teas should be brewed according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240ml) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Brew times shown in minutes.
The simplest methods for brewing coffee are drip coffee, pour over and French press. These guidelines are a starting point; modify the ratio of coffee to water, the grind, and brewing time to your taste. If your coffee is not strong enough, increase the proportion of coffee per cup of water, grind the beans finer, or allow them to brew longer – or any combination of these factors. If your coffee is too strong, simply do the opposite.
Drip coffee or pour over method: hot water is gradually poured over coffee grounds and slowly drips through
