Most of these are documentable and historically accurate to early America. A few are just plain fun!!!
Black tea
English Breakfast: Ceylon and Assam Black Tea blend (strong)
Irish Breakfast: Ceylon and Assam Black Tea blend (stronger)
Scottish Breakfast: Ceylon and Assam Black Tea blend (never to be outdone, strongest)
Fairy Nectar: black tea, rose petals, gooseberries, currants, cinnamon and a dash of apricot flavor (not historically accurate but super yummy and we believe in fairies and they did in the 1700’s so there you go)
Black Currant and Peppermint: Black Currant and Peppermint (known as a cooling tea, fever reducer or flu fighter back in the day)
Oolong (comes with link to tea reading book by an 18th century Highland seer) Mrs Graham’s Favorite!
Decaf Ceylon: Whole leaf Ceylon (decaf via CO2 process-not historically accurate but we needed a decaf option)
Earl Grey: From early nineteenth century. A fan favorite
Vanilla Rose: Black tea with vanilla and rose. Both vanilla and roses have been used in teas for centuries. We haven’t pinpointed a date for this particular mix but it’s pretty, smells amazing and is delicious.
Green Tea
Pomegranate Green Tea: Pomegranate and Green Tea (not totally historically accurate but close and a nice nod to the West Coast which was being introduced to pomegranates in 18th Century)
Young Hysson Green Tea: Young Hysson leaves (one of the ones they chucked overboard in Boston!)
Gunpowder Green Tea:
Herbal Tea
Liberty Tea: Raspberry Leaf, Chamomile, Nettle, Rose (A patriot favorite since the 1770s!! Also has history as a tea for healthy pregnancy…birth of a baby…birth of a nation…it works!)
Nettle Tea: Nettle (Eighteenth century superfood. If green had a taste, it would be nettle)
Comfrey & Cherry Bark (also known as the bone stitcher) Mrs Fitz used it on Jaimie for his shoulder
Forty Winks: chamomile, lavender, rose, and a splash of lemon…sweet dreams!
Headache Healer: White Willow Bark and Cinnamon (As seen on Outlander)Well documented for whiskey headaches and aches and pains in general in Scotland and with Indigenous peoples in America. We recommend Orange Blossom honey with this one for a full bodied flavor.
Hangover Healer: chamomile, licorice, ginger root, fennel, rose, spearmint, lemongrass, saffron, and a hint of citrus (Also used for tummy aches, nausea and dehydration)
Ladies Comfort Tea: lemon balm, raspberry, red clover, nettle, mint (mom swears by it-battles hormonal migraines, bloat and cramps…MAGIC!)
White Willow Bark & Cinnamon (used in Scotland and Indigenous peoples) Claire, Geilis, and Mrs Fitz all used
Pure Chamomile…good for baths as well as tea.
Digestif: Licorice Root, Mint, Fennel (for after dinner when you ate too much)
Martha Washington’s Cacao Tea (VERY historically accurate-her favorite. It’s chocolate…but tea)
