Nabob Orange Pekoe tea bags-are they discontinued-don't know where to post?

Question

I can't find these anywhere-they usually come in a red paper box. I live in Vancouver, BC but am willing to ship them over from anywhere really. Does anyone know where I can find them? Sorry for posting on this board-I wasn't sure where a question like this should be asked?

Answer

They have been discontinued! Kraft bought out the company then discontinued product. This is the best tea! Kraft should have done some marketing and got the word out how good it is. It had a limited market because it seemed to be only available in BC, Canada. Kraft could have changed that. Believe on facebook there is a sight to bring it back!!!

Answer

I know this email is late in coming but I too along with many others was a Nabob Tea fan and was so upset when they sold the company. 

I have a found a tea that tastes as good as Nabob and has the same blend as Nabob used which is the Assam Pekoe Tea. The name of the Tea is 'Harris' and is sold at Save On Foods and Pricemart in the International Food Isle.. It is just excellent and my family agrees that it is Nabob in a new box.. Anna

Answer

I would like to say that my Mother always bought "Nabob"
Orange Pekoe tea in the red box. My mother was not a coffee drinker, unless coffee, was the only beverage being served. I grew up in Vancouver, Canada, and have followed my Mother in her prefer acne for tea. I worked outside my home and have had other popular name brands served in cafeterias, restaurants,etc. I can tell the difference immediately, when it is not my favorite brand. I realized that my Mother did pay extra for her tea, even though we were a family of seven, including three growing older brothers, and my younger sister and myself. She was on a very small allowance for food. I asked her why Nabob? She told me it was her Mother's preferred brand, as well. I do miss it, and like my Mother, I drink tea, not coffee. Is there any chance of it re-appearing on the shelves?

Answer

I've read that the infamous Kraft/Heinz outfit sucked up our Nabob tea, back in 2010. If I had the formula for it, I'd start manufacturing it for worldwide distribution.
