Hornblower's Tavern

Imagine sitting in a quaint New England tavern in the early 1700's, enjoying the ambiance and the intimate atmosphere. Everyone is enjoying a hearty stew or shepherd's pie and either a hearty mug of dark, rich ale, or dark, rich "tea". Yes, New England was enjoying tea in the early 1700's - even before England! Tea came with the Dutch to New Amsterdam and became the beverage of choice very quickly.

This black tea is a blend of fine teas from Ceylon, China and Kenya.
Rich and robust, an old-fashioned brew with a bright colour and fragrant aroma and just a hint of smoke. You'll enjoy the warmth of the mug in your hands on a chilly afternoon. 
To Prepare
