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.

 Steeped in Independence. Signed in History.

To mark the approaching 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.
