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.

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.

One of the best black teas I've tried

I got a sample of this tea during a trip to Boston and the tea party museum. It tasted fantastic but I wasn't able to find it at their gift shop. So I took a picture of the tea and did a google search when I got home. Arrived two days after ordering. It is a little pricey but it is so worth it. I add a little cream and sugar and it's one of if not the best tea I have drank. I am from the south and even my southern friends who enjoy more iced sweet tea enjoy this hot as well. Buy it, you won't be disappointed .

Bold

The taste of a classic tea. I enjoy the bold full taste of this tea both hot and iced, no need for sugar or milk in my opinion.

I don't like green tea, but yours has changed my mind. By far, one of the best teas I've ever had....as are all your teas. Keep up the good work!

Your Black Tea with Bourbon is the best. I won’t drink anything else.

One evening after dinner with 3 of my friends, all doctors, we decided that your Blueberry Infusion is the healthiest concoction ever created, other than Bourbon of course. I'm including a tin of this in this years Christmas baskets for friends. Also I've baked muffins with it . OMG you've never had a blueberry muffin that good.
