It all started with a wonderful bottle of peach sweet tea from the campground store. I was pleased that it was all natural and without high fructose corn syrup. It is called American Classic Tea and made with tea grown in the U.S.A and specifically in Charleston, SC. This is the only place tea is grown and produced in the U.S.A!
*Ingredients listed are South Carolina Grown Black Tea Brewed with Purified Water, Cane Sugar, Natural Peach Flavor & Citric Acid. Product of Charleston Tea Plantation, SC.
We had a great time visiting the Charleston Tea Plantation and were fortunate to arrive during their First Flush Tea Festival. It is a very popular venue with live bands, featuring the Old Crow Medicine Show, food, vendor booths and of course, complimentary tea!
We had a wonderful time touring their factory and learned all about harvesting teas. The gift shop is a delight and full of wonderful teas and other items. We purchased a bag of first flush tea, peach tea for making ice tea and a couple of tea mugs & plate. I highly recommend that you visit here whenever you are in the Charleston area!

CELEBRATING AMERICA'S OWN TEA
GARDEN
Dedicated to the commencement of the
2013 crop harvest, the First Flush FesTEAval is a celebration of
America's own tea garden and its popular product line, American
Classic Tea. The festival name, First Flush, is defined as the
growth of new leaves on the tea plants in the spring time after a
winter of rest. Their "first flush" of new growth is harvested to
produce what avid tea drinkers deem to be the most unique, fresh,
and amazing cup of tea. However, the festival is not just about
tea! Residents from Charleston and all neighboring towns trek to
picturesque Wadmalaw Island to enjoy music, entertainment, art, and
local cuisine. Fun for the whole family!
