Even though our visit was at the end of November, the Charleston Tea Garden offered a complete tour experience. We took the tour ($18/adult) and our tour guide made it fun as well as very informative. The tour trolley bus had windows that can open or stay closed. I learned so much that I never knew about tea and the growing and processing of tea. The inside factory tour (free self-tour) was ok. But since it was not a processing day, other than the videos, there was only non-moving machinery to see. The gift shop (where they offer free hot and cold tea) had lots of things to buy, including their teas. All-in-all we had a beautiful day and an very interesting time. I would highly recommended going to visit them.
The trolley ride takes about 35-40 minutes and you'll get to see our many acres and acres of tea bushes. You'll learn more about tea both from our trolley guide as well as our founder, Bill Hall, who narrates a portion of the tour over the bus sound system. The trolley also makes a stop at the greenhouse where everyone departs the trolley and gets to see up close and personal just what it takes to bring new tea bushes into the world. This trip is a once-in-a-lifetime experience

Thoroughly enjoyed the trolley tour and the whole visit to the Tea Garden. The Trolley tour was informative and entertaining. The Factory tour was informative. It's a beautiful setting and worth learning about the tea grown and processed there. The gift shop as many nice items.

The tour was nice, but be cautious about billed prices in the gift shop. Every item we bought came up higher at the register than it was priced on the shelf.

There will be Marsh Mosquitoes to deal with!
Other than that it was a very pleasant and interesting experience!
