American Classic Tea

Sweet tea, unsweetened tea, hot tea, iced tea or flavored tea – however you like it, you’ll enjoy it even more if your tea is grown in South Carolina. American Classic Tea, the only tea commercially grown in the United States, is produced 20 miles south of Charleston, South Carolina on Wadmalaw Island at Charleston Tea Plantation.

 

Not only does Charleston have the ideal climate to produce tea, it’s also an ideal place to visit. While you’re there stop by Charleston Tea Plantation Garden, a 127-acre tea farm and learn how tea is made, from the raw leaf to finished black tea.

Is your mouth watering for a glass or cup of tea now? Order a box online. You’ll get a taste of why tea is South Carolina’s official hospitality beverage.
