I wanted to make sure I wrote a note for the reputedly “only tea garden in the US” (so says their tea packet packaging… but this is an OLLLDD teabag… probably things have changed by now in the state of the tea world.) I know I for one, and probably many others here on Steepster, hope one day that derk will also have “the other tea garden in America”. We’re all supporting you, derk! :D I DO know that they have since stopped calling themselves a “tea plantation” which is a good thing and surprising that it took this long? But I’m a Northerner and America is all over the place. The package also says this is tea grown in Charleston but originally from China and India… and I would say the taste of it leans more towards India. It tastes like Ceylon to me! Neither good nor bad in flavor. It’s TEA. Gets a bit bitey when cold. I actually have been to Charleston as a kid. I have a great aunt there. I really only remember that it’s close to the ocean!

I know Charleston only because there is a port for my container shipments at work.
A friend of mine recently did the tea garden tour there and had a blast. She sent me a sample of their first flush 2023, which is a little more rounded/balanced in flavor.
That makes sense, Martin! :D
They make a peach black tea that is really good, especially as a sweet iced tea – something we consume in copious amounts in the south.
Thanks for the support, tea-sipper :)
