Introducing the Revolutionary Teas of the Boston Tea Party
Unlock the flavors of history with our exclusive set of teas inspired by the iconic Boston Tea Party. Transport yourself to the brisk night of December 16, 1773, as we bring you a collection of five teas reminiscent of those tossed into the Boston Harbor during this pivotal moment in American history.
Boston Harbor, December 16, 1773: The chill in the air and the fervor of the colonists united in protest against unjust taxation. “No taxation without representation!” The Boston Tea Party unfolded, forever etching its place in history. Now, you can savor the essence of that defiant act with our unique set featuring two green teas and three black teas—the very varieties that found themselves submerged in the 342 chests cast into the harbor.
For history enthusiasts, our set offers more than just teas. Discover fascinating details on the quantity of each tea destroyed, brewing instructions, flavor profiles, and lesser-known facts about tea in early America. Crafted in South Carolina, this collection is a tribute to our revolutionary past.
