Oliver Pluff & Co.; Tea with a tale to tell.

Wondering what teas were thrown into Boston Harbor the night of the Boston Tea Party? This colonial green tea, Young Hyson, was one of them!

Named for tea merchant Philip Hyson, Young Hyuson was imported to colonial America by the British East India Company. Young Hyson tea was highly prized and the tea tax was higher for Hyson than for other teas. It is created from green tea leaves, picked in Spring, then thinly rolled to have a long, twisted appearance that unfurls when brewed.  

Pictured on the tea tin is the tea act Tax Stamp of King George III as a nod to the tea's revolutionary history.

Notes: Fresh, grassy notes with a delicate, natural sweetness. Young Hyson (picked in spring) is considered a higher quality tea than Hyson (picked after the rains). 

History: Some believe it to have been named after an English tea merchant, Phillip Hyson.  Hyson and Young Hyson tea were highly prized by the colonial Americans and tax on hyson was higher than for other teas.  During the Boston Tea Party there were 70 chests of Hyson destroyed.  

Ingredients: Green tea leaves

Size/Type: 3.5 oz loose tea, sealed in matte black signature tea tin

Shelf Life: 3 Years

Hand Packaged by Oliver Pluff & Co. in 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.

These are a good choice
Color: Black-2 Set
These are great. They are made well, look nice and are easy to move when I’m dusting. I use these to keep perfumes, lotions and vitamins organized atop my dresser. The velvety compartments are a well sized and the layout is conducive to storing the kind of objects women or men typically store atop a dresser. I find these bins quite functional. I feel like these were a good value. They weren’t the cheapest and they weren’t the most expensive. They look nice and feel high quality enough.

Nice and works great in my nightstand
Color: Beige
Smaller than I expected, but good quality and looks nice in my nightstand drawer. It will keep things from rolling around. Seems sturdy and I like the pinkish undertone to the beige.
