The tea company has certainly grown since 1983, and we’ve become involved in so many wonderful projects. PH Nargeolet, one of the divers with the French exploratory group at Woods Hole in Massachusetts when the Titanic was found, encouraged John to do a commemorative tea to honor the 100th Anniversary of those who perished when the Titanic sank. As a tribute to the tragedy and heroism of “A Night to Remember”, John has created a tea blend which reflects the quality of tea that was served on the Titanic.
There is Chinese Keemun, one of the last teas British still consumed in 1912. The British had mostly switched to black teas from Assam, India and Ceylon. Also there is Formosa Oolong, which was popularized in both the UK and the US by an enterprising Brit. So this blend would have been recognizable to tea lovers a hundred years ago.
A portion of the sales of our RMS Titanic Tea will go to The Ocean Conservancy, the dedicated organization committed to preserving one of the Earth’s most valuable resources, our Oceans. We hope you will enjoy this tea, and “Remember".
