Colonial Bohea by Oliver Pluff & Co.: Tea with a tale to tell

Bohea tea, (pronounced “Boo-hee”), was by far the largest tea import during colonial times. Sometimes called Bohea Souchong or Lapsang Bohea, the blend originated in China with trade to the British and Dutch East India Companies. It was so popular that the word bohea became the slang term for tea. The blend varied wildly, consisting of broken orange pekoe, pekoe, and souchong dumped in a pile and then sifted, typically the scrap tea of lower quality leaves, but was considered high quality by the colonists. 

Pictured on the label is a political cartoon printed by Benjamin Franklin, which became a powerful emblem of colonial unity that resurfaced during the Stamp Act crisis and American Revolutionary war, symbolizing resistance against British rule. 

History: During the Boston Tea Party, 242 chests of Bohea were destroyed.  

Ingredients: Black tea leaves

Brewing tips: Brew at 195 degrees for 3 - 5 minutes

Size/Type:  3oz loose tea, sealed in matte black signature tea tin

Shelf Life: 3 Years

Hand Blended and Packaged by Oliver Pluff & Co. Charleston, South Carolina

A note from the Team at Oliver Pluff & Co.:

We are more than purveyors of tea—we are storytellers. Each blend we offer is a chapter in a larger tale: of trade routes and revolution, of distant tea gardens and colonial American hearths.

Our journey began with a simple question: What teas were thrown into Boston Harbor during the Tea Party of 1773? That inquiry led us deep into the records of the British East India Company and the bustling tea markets of Canton, China where we uncovered the names of the original blends (Bohea, Congou, Singlo, and more) and traced their journey from leaf to rebellion.

We’ve recreated these historic blends with care and fidelity, allowing you to sip the same teas that helped spark a revolution. When you raise a cup of Young Hyson or Bohea, you’re not just tasting tea—you’re tasting history.

Every Oliver Pluff & Co. blend invites you to slow down, steep deeply, and savor the story in every cup.

not a big fan
dont really like the set, the neck on the shirt is much smaller than it should be, tight around the neck, the pants are nice, comfortable and feel like they will last

Absolute horrible quality
Color: Black, Size: Medium
Do not purchase this track suit even if its on sale. The fabric material is so cheap, it feels like a tacky uncomfortable plastic bottle that's been stretched out over your body. The stitching feels very off and the thickness is somehow too bulky and looks baggy and at the same time feels too tight. Do yourself a favor and avoid, I'm returning this product.

Solid 2pc set
Hubby recently had hip replacement surgery & needed some comfier clothes while he's recuperating. These are really comfy but they fit well and the subtle stripe just looks a little more "put together" than a standard sweat suit. This isn't his normal style but he's becoming a fan 🙂 Wash and dry well- no special treatment and no wrinkling or shrinkage. Warm but not hot, seem to be well made... not seeing pilling or strings unraveling, etc 👍👍
