We are more than purveyors of tea—we are storytellers. Each blend we offer is a chapter in a larger tale: of trade routes and revolution, of distant tea gardens and colonial American hearths.

Our journey began with a simple question: What teas were thrown into Boston Harbor during the Tea Party of 1773? That inquiry led us deep into the records of the British East India Company and the bustling tea markets of Canton, China. There, we uncovered the names of the original blends—Bohea, Congou, Singlo, and more—and traced their journey from leaf to rebellion.

We’ve recreated these historic blends with care and fidelity, allowing you to sip the same teas that helped spark a revolution. When you raise a cup of Gunpowder or Bohea, you’re not just tasting tea—you’re tasting history.

But not all stories are centuries old. Some are written under the summer sun, in porch swings and picnic baskets. That’s where our seasonal blends come in—like our sun teas and cold brews. These lighter offerings bring bright fruit notes and fresh flavor, capturing the spirit of the season while still honoring the timeless traditions of tea.

From hand-picked leaves to hand-drawn history, every Oliver Pluff & Co. blend invites you to slow down, steep deeply, and savor the story in every cup.
