Congou Black Tea | Boston Tea Party Ships Museum Tin
Congou Black Tea | Boston Tea Party Ships Museum Tin
This Chinese black tea was one of the five teas tossed into Boston Harbor on December 16, 1773.
Congou was made in a more disciplined manner than the common Bohea black tea and was higher priced. If you are a fan of China's black teas such as Keemun, you'll appreciate this historic and delicious leaf.
We package this tea for the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. Elmwood Inn Fine Teas owner Bruce Richardson serves as the tea master for that museum.
Add milk if you wish for a breakfast tea experience much like Bostonians might have enjoyed in the 1700s.
