The only commercial tea plantation in North America welcoming visitors again to see how tea is processed
Charleston Tea Plantation, the only commercial tea plantation in North America is again in production and on May 11, began officially welcoming visitors again to see how tea is processed.
"I would hope that over time this will become a destination for a lot of tea drinkers and that it will bring a considerable number of people into Charleston," added David Bigelow, the co-chairman of the board of R.C. Bigelow Inc., the Connecticut tea company that purchased the plantation at auction in 2003.
Visitors are now able to take a tour though a spacious new production building where large-screen monitors explain how tea is processed from green leaves to finished product.
As many as 50,000 visitors are expected this year, Bigelow said.
