Saturday is the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, and all these years later, you can still taste a close approximation of what teas were thrown into the harbor that night. Here's my @gbhnews story: https://www.wgbh.org/news/local/2023-12-15/you-can-still-sip-the-types-of-tea-tossed-overboard-in-the-boston-tea-party
You can still sip the types of tea tossed overboard in the Boston Tea Party

Although the tea thrown in the harbor 250 years ago was lost to history and the tide, historians and tea experts say we can still enjoy what it would have tasted like.

@craiglemoult @gbhnews This was a year and a half after colonists burned the Gaspee. My great aunt had the house closest to Gaspee Point when I was a kid. It's a sandbar in the Narragansett that caught the Gaspee and gave colonists an opportunity.

@craiglemoult @gbhnews I used to work in that neighborhood and would go in on my lunch break for the tea. It is really, really good. And a beautiful location. The lunch room has windows on 3 sides over the water.

@alexisdyslexic @gbhnews It was beautiful there, and I hadn't realize until doing this story that you could visit the tea room without buying a ticket to the museum
