Ryan WestenbergerMarch 15, 2016Amazing learning experience. I love tea and I had no idea what all went into making it. The tour is very informative and I will definitely be buying from this company in the future.
Connor StengelMarch 24, 2019This is a great spot to see when visiting Charleston. It is free to see the factory and sample the many teas made in store. It is located near the Angel Oak Tree, so make sure to stop and see it too!- Jordan TroxelDecember 17, 2016In my opinion it's the best tea in the world. And it's the only tea plantation in North America to boot,so it's a really cool experience.
Mary BethMay 17, 2014We only took the free tour of the factory (which wasn't working at the time) but the videos are really informative. Gave me a better appreciation of the process of producing tea. Try the free teas.
Jill SommerJune 2, 2015Free iced and hot tea in the gift shop. Be sure to reuse your cup and sample all of them.
- Eric HoAugust 28, 2022If you're getting here by Uber/Lyft, make sure you arrange for return arrangements. You won't be able to find a car out here!
Jen PMay 23, 2015The drive might be far but you get a quick tour of how tea is made in the US. Nice sample of teas in the gift shop.
Mike CampbellAugust 20, 2017Trolley rides through the plantation and a walk through the green houses after the factory tour. Kids 12& under are half price.
Jeng-Chyang SyuSeptember 6, 2021Wow, a very big farm that has been used without upgrades, It is very sad.
- Mike CampbellAugust 20, 2017Free taste tasting and factory tour. Doesn't take long and is fun to do.
Bryn RileyJanuary 30, 2014Be sure to get $1 off the trolley by checking in and showing the special to the cashier!
- Hoyle Kip VinsonJuly 28, 2015Learned a lot about tea production and this is the only tea garden in North America!

"Excellent! The tasting is phenomenal, you get to choose six liquors to try out of about 10-15 options for only six dollars. The Mint Tea Vodka and the Coconut Cake Liqueur were my personal favorites."
