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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e During the Boston Tea Party, 242 chests of Bohea were destroyed.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients: \u003c\/strong\u003eBlack tea leaves\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\/Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e  3oz loose tea, sealed in matte black signature tea tin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\"\u003eShelf Life:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\"\u003e 3 Years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: small;\"\u003eHand Blended and Packaged by Oliver Pluff \u0026amp; Co.
