Bohea tea, pronounced “Boo-hee,” was the most popular tea imported during colonial times. It is sometimes referred to as Bohea Souchong or Lapsang Bohea. This 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.
The Colonial Bohea blend is characterized by its smoky, winey, and warm notes. It offers a lighter smoky flavor compared to Lapsang Souchong, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate a nuanced tea experience. The blend consists of broken orange pekoe, pekoe, and souchong, which were traditionally considered lower quality leaves but were highly valued by the colonists.
Bohea tea holds a special place in American history, particularly during the Boston Tea Party, where 242 chests of Bohea 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.
