Abigail's Blend Boston Black Tea

Elmwood Inn Fine Teas' owner Bruce Richardson also serves at the Tea Master for the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. He was commissioned to design a signature tea for the 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.
