So, finally! After trying a sad attempt at a true Colonial Bohea (The Spice & Tea Exchange), I have a feeling this is the tea that may have started a Revolution.
It took me two brews to find the sweet spot. Wow! Aromatic, rich, malty, fruity, and slightly smoky.

Helpful. I will double the leaf and see if I can make myself like this tea! I was about to dump the bag.
The more I drink the more I like it! I’ve found 2 tsp and about a 5 minute steep just 30 sec off the boil make a very satisfying cup.
Excellent! I will try that today. I may even have a slightly different blend than yours. Mine says it was blended especially for Colonial Williamsburg. Funny thing, the packet also says it is an Indian tea, but Bohea is supposed to be Chinese! The word is a corruption of how they were trying to pronounce Wuyi as the Chinese said it.
I ordered min directly from Oliver Pluff & Company’s website. I’m very impressed with Oliver Pluff & Company so far.
