East Frisian Blend, Broken

Blend of strong Assam tea varieties. The enjoyment of tea drinking spread throughout East Frisia in the late 18th century and was initially also promoted by Frederick II. Starting in 1768 however, after the failure of the East Asian Trading Company, he tried to wean the East Frisians off their now cherished tea. This conflict with the territorial estates, which lasted until about 1780, is also referred to as the “Teekrieg” (“tea feud”).
