What is Bohea Tea?

Bohea tea, pronounced “Boo-hee,” was the most popular tea imported during colonial times. Often referred to as Bohea Souchong or Lapsang Bohea, this unique blend originated in China and was traded extensively by the British and Dutch East India Companies. The term 'bohea' became synonymous with tea among colonists, highlighting its significance in their daily lives.

Flavor Profile

This blend is known for its smoky, winey, and warm characteristics. It offers a lighter smoky flavor compared to Lapsang Souchong, making it a delightful choice for those who appreciate nuanced tea experiences. The combination of broken orange pekoe, pekoe, and souchong creates a rich and satisfying cup that can be enjoyed at any time of the day.

Historical Significance

Bohea tea holds a special place in American history, particularly during the Boston Tea Party, where 242 chests of this beloved tea were destroyed in protest against British taxation. This act of defiance marked a pivotal moment in the fight for American independence and solidified Bohea's status as a symbol of resistance.
