1776: Portsmouth Tea

A patriotic cup steeped in New England history. Named for the year independence was declared, this signature Portsmouth blend pours a bold, colonial-era black tea brightened with orange peel, cinnamon, and clove — the spice notes of a revolutionary-era harbor town. Portsmouth, New Hampshire was a bustling seaport in 1776, and this cup carries that salt-and-spice heritage into your kitchen. Sip it strong in the morning for a hearty, history-rich start, or take it with a splash of milk for something rounder. The flavor is malty, citrusy, and warmly spiced. Blended in small batches at our Portsmouth NH apothecary and part of our Portsmouth Signature collection celebrating the city's landmarks and lore. Steep one teaspoon of this loose leaf black tea for three to five minutes, pour, and toast to freedom. A perfect Portsmouth keepsake or gift for the history lover on your list. Presented in a resealable kraft pouch that keeps the leaves garden-fresh, it makes a thoughtful hostess gift, stocking stuffer, or little luxury for yourself — because the ritual of a good cup is one of the kindest things you can offer.
