Nothing says Lowcountry quite like a perfect glass of sweet tea!

But we get asked all the time, what makes Southern sweet tea truly southern? It all comes down to how you brew it, when you add the sugar, all starting with a good tea!

We shared our go-to recipe for making sweet tea straight from the source, featuring our American Classic Tea grown right here at the Charleston Tea Garden! Read the full recipe here: https://bit.ly/3TsrKC5

There's a lot of magic at the Charleston Tea Garden, but there's nothing more special to us than watching our team hard at work making the tea you know and love!

As a working farm, no two days are exactly the same. Depending on the time of year, you might see our team harvesting, processing, planting and more as you explore the Garden!

Hoping to catch something specific during your visit? We recommend calling about a week ahead of time to see what's happening around the farm. Of course, everything is subject to change based on seasonality, weather, and farm conditions, but there's always something happening at the Charleston Tea Garden!

If you've ever taken a trolley tour with us, then there's a good chance you've met Ellen!

The city is great, but nothing beats experiencing the quiet, lush beauty of the Charleston Tea Garden. 🌿

Right outside downtown Charleston, you’ll find yourself surrounded by acres of tea plants, peaceful Lowcountry scenery, and a slower pace that makes it easy to sit back, sip a cup of tea, and take it all in.

Whether you’re visiting Charleston for the first time or looking for something new to explore, a little time outside the city is always worth the trip.
