India, China, KenyaElmwood Inn Fine Teas' founder, Bruce Richardson, also serves as the Tea Master for the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. He was commissioned to design this signature tea for their 100-seat Abigail's Tearoom - named for Abigail Adams - that sits atop the museum in Boston Harbor.
Bruce created this historic blend of black teas to be reminiscent of the Chinese black teas tossed overboard in 1773 by using teas from across the British Empire, including China, India, and Kenya.
This is a versatile blend that appeals to all of our visitors from around the world. If you are a fan of English Breakfast blends - with or without milk - you will love this tea. It also makes a great iced tea.
Let's just say that if the 5-year-old Chinese teas aboard the three East India ships in Boston Harbor on December 16, 1773, had tasted this good, the colonists would never have dumped it into the sea, and we would still be flying the British flag here in America!
Also available in pyramid sachets.
Easy way to order great tea!
Brew a cup each morning to start my day. My first taste was 2018 when I visited the tea shop in Boston Harbor to tour the museum. Been a fan ever since
A Very nice Blend of Tea, to either Relax, or Start Your Day! It always makes a Perfect Cup of Tea for us to Enjoy!! Perfect for Yourself, or a Great Gift to Share!
Great tea to be had by all. First cup was at Abigails tea house in Boston. Loved it
This is my favorite black tea. Makes the best iced tea in summer and delicious hot by itself or with milk and honey.
