Boston Tea Party

Today, December 16, 2018, marks the 245th anniversary of the most famous           tea party in all history.  A group of 60 men, dresses in Indian garb, stormed British ships in Boston Harbor which carried chests of tea from the East India Company.  As large groups of cheering Bostonians encourage the men to toss 342 chests of tea overboard, the act was one of rebellion, protesting the duties imposed on many imported British items, of which tea was one.

In part, this event changed the beverage of choice for Americans for centuries to come.  Slowly though, over time, we have returned to our first love and Tea is enjoying a renaissance in the US unlike any seen before in history.

This year, Three Sisters' Tearoom is pleased to be a part of the historic reenactment.  Some of our tea will be amongst that pitched overboard into the Boston Harbor in the wee hours of the night.  We even have a certificate to prove it!

Though each December 16th we commemorate the rebellious act of our Colonial forefathers, take comfort in knowing that tea is gaining popularity once again and we can boldly enjoy our beloved  beverage!
