Description

Hyson green tea was one of five teas thrown overboard in Boston Harbor in 1773. This Chinese tea was a common tea found both in the American colonies and England. It was a favorite of Thomas Jefferson and, in the Regency Period, Jane Austen. Elmwood Inn Fine Teas received a commission from the National Archives in Washington to produce a private label tea commemorating one of the pivotal events in the colonists’ struggle for independence, the 1773 Boston Tea Rebellion. We now offer this historically correct Chinese hyson green tea to all our customers. You’ll find it in all the National Park Gift Stores across New England as well.
