For centuries, Chinese tea merchants have carefully created blends for tea drinkers in both London and Boston. Featuring aromatic rose petals, this Chinese black tea was a popular blend for tea parties at the beginning of the 20th century. Isabella Stewart Gardner (called ‘Belle’ by her close friends) hosted many such tea events in her Fenway Palace. This tea comes from our collection of loose teas inspired by the Museum and blended by Elmwood Inn Fine Teas.
