On the evening of December 16, 1773, a group of men calling themselves the "Sons of Libery" went to the Boston Harbor dressed as Mohawk Indians.  Boarding three British ships; the Beaver, the Eleanor and the Dartmouth, they dumped forty-five tons of tea into Boston Harbor.  As a result of the tea tax, the colonies refused to purchase their tea from Britain.  Instead, they chose to smuggle tea in from Holland.  This left the warehouses full of unsold tea, threatening the prosperity of the East India Tea Company.  This historic green blend is made up of the same type of teas that were served in Portsmouth, New Hampshire from 1700 - 1790 as shown in local shipping records from the time.  Coverse with history with every sip.
