BOSTON (Reuters) - The British tea merchants are coming — to push their product and say they‘re sorry. Wednesday morning on the 225th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party — one of the events that led to the American Revolution — Britain‘s consul general to Boston will be on hand as representatives from that country‘s biggest tea company, Brooke Bond, formally apologise for the tea tax that led to the rebellion. The seminal event of the American War of Independence involved a group of American patriots from the Massachusetts colony, masquerading as Indians, who boarded three British vessels and dumped 342 bales of tea into Boston harbour as a protest against higher taxes. Brooke Bond has hired British actor Tom Baker. Dressed as an 18th Century gentleman, Baker is slated to deliver the apology to the governor of what is now the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. "From our hearts, we say a sincere sorry. Sorry America," Baker will tell the governor‘s representative at a state house ceremony scheduled for 7:30 a.m. (1230 GMT) when the state house is pretty much closed.
