AN OVERVIEW
The Charleston Tea Plantation’s First Flush Festival is like the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the tea harvesting season, as the first spring growth of the tea plants—the “first flush”—is turned into a flavorful brew that in days gone by belonged to royals only. Now everyone can enjoy this particularly fresh and tasty tea on Saturday, May 18th at the Tea Plantation’s Wadmalaw Island locale. In addition to live music throughout the day, there will be tours of the facility where the leaves are actually processed, a $5 trolley ride through the fields, an arts and crafts fair, and activities for the kids. Ticket prices range from $20 - $50. Plan on buying ahead of time for a discounted rate. Children under age 10 are free. Once you’re in, fresh iced tea is complimentary for as long as you stay!
More details will be forthcoming on the plantation's website, but you can also purchase tickets by calling the Plantation directly at (843) 559-0383, Ext. 206.
