Congou Black Tea | Boston Tea Party Ships Museum Tin Information

Water Temperature:
212°F
Brewing Time:
4 - 5 minutes
Ingredients:
Handpicked Chinese black tea
Origin:
China

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.

The Scotch Whiskey of 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!

Congou Black Tea

This turns out to not be one of my favorites. I seem to love the Irish Black Tea.

Delicious & so very smooth....

I was expecting it to be a bit "harsh" (which is okay if you're looking for a high test kick of caffeine!) but was pleasantly surprised at how very SMOOTH this tea is. Smooth enough that my husband broke our "one pot of tea a day" rule and turned around & brewed a second pot to enjoy this morning!

A delicious bit of history

I first discovered this tea at the Boston Museum. I was surprised by how good it was. I've made it my regular morning tea.
