Today’s visit to the Charleston Tea Plantation for their First Flush festival turned out to be a lot of fun.

The factory tour is definitely very interesting and informative. One of the must-do’s while you’re there.
Plenty of people came to enjoy the great weather and live entertainment
According to the Tea Trolley tour guide, the original plantation up in Summerville was abandoned after the original owner died. All of the plants at the Charleston Tea Plantation were propagated (cloned) from plants recovered from the original plantation. If you’re in Summerville, some of those unruly bushes on your property might just be tea bushes!
