Monteacello | Green Tea Blend | Sense + SensibiliTea
Thomas Jefferson's favourite tea! Jefferson to John Barnes, a Philadelphia tea merchant and grocer: "Having occasion for about 20. lb. of good tea annually, I think it best to rely for the choice faith of some dealer in that article, both as to and on no one do I rely more willingly than on yourself. I usually send to Philadelphia for my groceries once a quarter, and will on those occasions ask of you a quarter's supply of tea. At present I will beg the favor of you to pack for me in a canister 5. lb. of good tea. Young hyson we prefer both for flavor and strength but if you have none good,let it be hyson of the ancient kind."

Sense and SensibiliTea are the tea creations of Wanda and Andrew Aulenback. Their company started from humble roots. It began in a make shift 18th century tea parlour. Having hosted many fully costumed period teas, Wanda decided to take the next step, and begin research to make sure the teas she was serving were accurate to the various time periods they were playing in. So began Sense and SensibiliTea.
