Oliver Pluff & Co.; Tea with a tale to tell.

Wondering what teas were thrown into Boston Harbor the night of the Boston Tea Party? This colonial green tea, Young Hyson, was one of them!

Named for tea merchant Philip Hyson, Young Hyuson was imported to colonial America by the British East India Company. Young Hyson tea was highly prized and the tea tax was higher for Hyson than for other teas. It is created from green tea leaves, picked in Spring, then thinly rolled to have a long, twisted appearance that unfurls when brewed.  

Pictured on the tea tin is the tea act Tax Stamp of King George III as a nod to the tea's revolutionary history.

Notes: Fresh, grassy notes with a delicate, natural sweetness. Young Hyson (picked in spring) is considered a higher quality tea than Hyson (picked after the rains). 

History: Some believe it to have been named after an English tea merchant, Phillip Hyson.  Hyson and Young Hyson tea were highly prized by the colonial Americans and tax on hyson was higher than for other teas.  During the Boston Tea Party there were 70 chests of Hyson destroyed.  

Ingredients: Green tea leaves

Size/Type: 3.5 oz loose tea, sealed in matte black signature tea tin

Shelf Life: 3 Years

Hand Packaged by Oliver Pluff & Co. in Charleston, South Carolina

A note from the Team at Oliver Pluff & Co.:

We are more than purveyors of tea—we are storytellers. Each blend we offer is a chapter in a larger tale: of trade routes and revolution, of distant tea gardens and colonial American hearths.

Our journey began with a simple question: What teas were thrown into Boston Harbor during the Tea Party of 1773? That inquiry led us deep into the records of the British East India Company and the bustling tea markets of Canton, China where we uncovered the names of the original blends (Bohea, Congou, Singlo, and more) and traced their journey from leaf to rebellion.

We’ve recreated these historic blends with care and fidelity, allowing you to sip the same teas that helped spark a revolution. When you raise a cup of Young Hyson or Bohea, you’re not just tasting tea—you’re tasting history.

Every Oliver Pluff & Co. blend invites you to slow down, steep deeply, and savor the story in every cup.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
