Handpicked Chinese black teaOrigin:
ChinaThis 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, where Elmwood Inn Fine Teas founder Bruce Richardson serves as the tea master.
Add milk if you wish for a breakfast tea experience much like Bostonians might have enjoyed in the 1700s.
According to the FDA, Consuming Just Two Cups of Black or Green Tea Daily Reduces the Risk of Heart Disease and Diabetes.
Absolutely the best tea I have ever had! For fun, I tried all six of the Boston Tea Party teas at Abigail's Tea Room when we visited Boston and was immediately hooked on the Congou. With a bit of honey, I can't think of anything better. I was used to Earl Grey or herbal teas and this is completely different. It has a malty, lightly toasted toffee & spices flavor to me. Try it, you won't be disappointed!
I love this tea
This is possibly the boldest, most robust tea I have ever had. It has solid, smoky notes while still being very smooth. I'll be having this with dessert or on cold winter mornings.
Nice full body tea. Elmwood is the best!
This turns out to not be one of my favorites. I seem to love the Irish Black Tea.
