The Charleston Tea Plantation
–an American Story
To preserve the land from commercial development in 2003, the Bigelow family purchased the Charleston Tea Plantation located on Wadmalaw Island in the heart of the South Carolina Lowcountry.
Wadmalaw Island, where more than 100 years ago tea planters brought their fi nest ancestral tea bushes from China and India, continues to provide the perfect environment for propagating tea. With its sandy soils, sub-tropical climate and average rainfall of 52 inches per year, Wadmalaw provides idyllic conditions for the Camellia Sinensis plant. Currently over 320 varieties – many the direct descendents of the ancestral tea bushes originally brought to South Carolina, exist on the 127 acre grounds of the Charleston Tea Plantation and are used to produce American Classic Tea®. Today, Wadmalaw is considered to be one of Charleston’s most unspoiled islands.
With few exceptions, the Plantation, located just 30 minutes from Charleston, is open to visitors 7 days a week. The next time you’re in the Charleston area, be sure to pack a lunch and bring the family by for an informative Factory Tour to see just how tea is made. While there, take an enjoyable Trolley Ride through the beautiful tea fi elds and help yourself to all of the iced American Classic Tea you can drink. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience not to be missed!
