Sip a Cup of History
Hand-Packaged American-Made Teas, Toddies & Coffees in Charleston, South Carolina.
A Leaf from America's Tea Heritage™
What teas were cast into Boston Harbor? At Oliver Pluff & Co., that question led us on a journey—back to the tea gardens of 17th- and 18th-century China, where the British East India Company sourced its prized leaves. Drawing from historical records, we’ve carefully recreated the blends that helped ignite a revolution. Now, we invite you to raise a cup—and steep yourself in history.

New Limited-Edition Collection
Four Cities. One Revolutionary Story.
Created for America’s 250th anniversary, the Celebration Cities collection features four commemorative tins inspired by Charleston, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. Historic teas and eighteenth-century city views bring each place and its role in the Revolution into focus.
Together, they offer a broader look at the places that carried the Revolution forward and the teas that belonged to the world in which it unfolded.

October's Tea of the Month
Cacao Chai Tea
As the days grow shorter, Cacao Chai brings chocolatey cacao shells together with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove, and a flicker of black pepper. This caffeine-free tea has plenty of warmth for the month ahead and is available loose or in teabags.
Steeped in Independence, Signed in History.
To mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we’ve released a limited-edition collection of our historic teas.
Each commemorative tin features Trumbull’s iconic painting and holds a blend once steeped in early America—Colonial Bohea, Congou, or Young Hyson.
