Colonial Bohea - Tea by the Pound
Colonial Bohea - Loose Tea by the Pound
Description: Bohea tea, (pronounced “Boo-hee” - Ukers 510), was by far the largest tea import during colonial times. Sometimes called Bohea Souchong or Lapsang Bohea, the blend originated in China with trade to the British and Dutch East India Companies. It was so popular that the word bohea became the slang term for tea. The blend varied wildly, consisting of broken orange pekoe, pekoe, and souchong dumped in a pile and then sifted, typically the scrap tea of lower quality leaves, but was considered high quality by the colonists.
History: In the Boston Tea Party, 242 chests of Bohea were destroyed.
Ingredients: Black tea leaves
Size/Type: loose tea
Shelf Life: 3 Years
Hand Blended and Packaged by Oliver Pluff & Co. Charleston, South Carolina

This is such an interesting
"This is such an interesting Tea such a great reminder of our trip to New England, which is where I first tasted it, on Patriots weekend. It’s a little bit too smoky for me personally so I usually put in some plain black unflavored tea with it and I make it a little less strong. But it’s an interesting flavor and I love the idea that it’s what 2/3 of the tea that was dumped in Boston Harbor was! I recommend recommended it if you like a smoky kind of lapsong suchong flavor of tea."
