Charleston Tea Plantation

20Feb06

I haven't really written much about myself, and this post isn't going to be where it happens, but I live in Summerville, SC which is just west of Charleston. The main reason I mention it is because the Charleston Tea Plantation is not far down the road. It's the only tea plantation in North America, and, in my opinion, produces the best tasting tea! I used to buy the American Classic tea before I even knew it was grown so close to where I live; now when I buy it, it just seems more special to me knowing this. If anyone's interested in trying it, here's an online shop where you can get it for MUCH less than at the official website.

Make some Sun-Brewed Tea just like my mom would make. While I've aquired the taste for the almost sickeningly sweet way it's served here in the south, I love it with just a little bit of sweetness, as well. Made like that, it really does quench the thirst!
