Friend of mine did the Charleston Tea Garden tour this spring and signed up to be notified when the first 2023 flush was available, and sent a little sample my way.
I’ve always thought Charleston’s tea was a little on the acidic/coppery side, so this was a welcome surprise. It’s still not especially strong—I haven’t met an American tea that is—but there’s a nice brown-sugary finish to it that their retail-grade offerings doesn’t have. Nice and pleasant without additives.
