Colonial Bohea is a distinctive black tea blend with smoky, warm, and subtly wine-like notes. Its gentle smokiness is softer than a traditional Lapsang Souchong, creating a rich and approachable cup that can be enjoyed plain or with a touch of honey.
Pronounced “boo-hee,” Bohea was the most widely imported tea in colonial America and represented the largest share of the tea destroyed during the Boston Tea Party. Packaged in Oliver Pluff & Company’s signature keepsake tin, this loose-leaf blend lets modern tea drinkers experience one of the defining flavors of the Revolutionary era.
Why We Chose It
There’s a Reason It’s Here.
We chose Colonial Bohea because it offers one of the most direct—and flavorful—connections to the Boston Tea Party. Bohea was not an obscure luxury reserved for a few wealthy colonists; it was the everyday tea found in homes throughout colonial America. Its warm character and gentle smokiness make it memorable without being overpowering, while its history gives every cup a genuine story to tell.
Meet the Maker
The Tea That Filled Boston Harbor
Oliver Pluff & Company brings the beverages of early America back to the table through historically inspired teas, coffees, cacao, and traditional drink blends. Hand-packaged in Charleston, South Carolina, its products connect today’s drinkers with the flavors, trade routes, customs, and protests that helped shape the nation.
Colonial Bohea is perhaps the clearest expression of that mission. Once the most commonly imported tea in colonial America, Bohea accounted for the largest portion of the tea destroyed in Boston Harbor on December 16, 1773. Oliver Pluff’s lightly smoky black tea blend offers a flavorful way to experience the tea that stood at the center of a defining moment in America’s revolutionary story.
