Colonial Bohea was the tea of its time. Pronounced “Boo-hee,” this Chinese blend became so widely imported during the colonial era that bohea became slang for tea itself.

Inside the matte black signature tin are 20 pyramid style teabags filled with black tea leaves. The plant based bags are fully biodegradable, making this storied tea easy to steep and fitting for a thoughtful gift.

Hand blended and packaged by Oliver Pluff & Co., it recalls a defining chapter in American history. During the Boston Tea Party, 242 chests of Bohea were destroyed.
