Open 7 days a week, with the exception of a few holidays, the Charleston Tea Garden is the perfect place to take a day trip. Bring the family, pack a lunch and enjoy it at our picnic tables under the century old oaks. The experience is not only educational but more importantly one-of-a-kind. You will learn first-hand how tea is made during an informative Factory Tour. You might want to shop our Gift Shop, home of a wide variety of tea related gifts.
