coolthingoftheday:This is what the tea that was dumped into the Boston Harbor would have looked like. In the 1700s, tea was compressed into planks; a plank this size could last a person roughly a year. They would be bought in sections, and small slivers would be shaved off into the kettle every time somebody wanted to make a cup of tea.(Source)I think this underestimates both my eternal craving for tea and just how strong I drink it. -- source link
