Interesting, but I found this:
"It was all loose tea because the colonists had no taste for tea bricks, and tea bags were still 150 years in the future. Benjamin Woods Labaree's The Boston Tea Party says the three tea ships contained 240 chests of Bohea, 15 of Congou, 10 of Souchong (all black teas), 60 of Singlo, and 15 of Hyson (both green teas)."

The "spices and pickles" of history are often open to conjecture. Maybe this is true or...?

 

Well it's not on the tea. Hahaha

 

Great post! That's what I love about CT, I learn something new every day.

 

Who's pocket has it been in? Lol

 

Ahhh, but they had tea strainers. Here's an interesting article. History of the Tea Strainer (teamuse.com)

 

In one story it also refers to him having used heroin.

I would not recommend making tea with tea brick money. The bricks were usually made with lower quality tea, scraps, floor sweepings etc, and often used dung as a binding agent.

 

The story 7% solution is about him "shooting" (injecting) a solution of Cocaine.

Edit: and then solving the crime while under the influence.
