If you have time during your stay i would definitely go. It is an interesting story and a tranquil place to go with your family. The history is amazing, being the fact that it is the only one in America. The tour is sub par --two videos, but gives a decent history on the plantation. The tram is fun as... More

The Tea Plantation is a relaxing stop on your South Carolina visit. It is not a substitute for the authentic southern plantation experiences. It is a real-live working plantation where they grow tea leaves, harvest them and turn them into tea. You'll learn about it in a short and informative tour. The best part is the free tea, iced or...

Worth the drive out. Not really what I was expecting but fun. The 'factory tour' is really just two videos that you watch as you look out over some equipment in a barn/garage. The tram is fun and it's very pretty out on the plantation. However, if you don't want to pay for the tram or don't have the time... More

Liked the brief processing tour. Learned alot. Too expensive for the trolly tour but bit the bullet cause we figured the cost covered the hot and cold tea tasting which was very nice.

The Charleston Tea Plantation on Wadmalaw Island near Charleston SC is an amazing attraction. It is the only 1 of its kind in North America and has lots of free hot and iced tea to try. There is a trolley tour and then a factory tour with interesting information about the history and processes for the plantation and the tea.... More

Let me save you some time. Please read Klomo's review for the particulars concerning the Charleston Tea Plantation. They're mostly positive, and I agree with them all. I want to review the ride out. The first few miles on the Maybank highway take you through Charleston's southern suburbs. However, the final 10 miles, from Main Road in Johns Island to... More

"Charleston" might be pushing it, but keep driving, you'll get there. Allow MUCH longer to get there than you think you'll need. And budget the $10 per person for the trolley tour... it is by far the best part. But, all in all, it's well worth the drive and is an interesting diversion. It's kind of pretty. Nicely landscaped with... More

Well worth the drive if you are visiting in Charleston. First because the drive takes you down well maintained oak tree lined roads of the historic low country; second because it’s a part of America’s food history to be paired with the history of Carolina Rice; finally because you’ll appreciate that southern staple -- sweet tea -- so much more...

We are so glad we tried this. We had spent a bundle on places in Charleston and thought we would try this. The only cost is the $10 ride around the grounds that you don't have to take, but it was well worth it. The driver was great. It stops and you go into the greenhouse. It took about an... More
