I went here a few years ago and then back recently and this is not a bay way to spend half a day.
Charleston Tea Plantation is the only working Tea Plantation in the US. They show you the tea fields and tell you about the history of tea and the little idiocyncracies about tea and they give you a tasting of different types of tea (sun tea, green tea, black tea, etc).
All of the tour was held outside, so if'n you go in the summertime, bring a fan or a hat cause it can get muggy.
All in all, a nice way to spend a few hours.
Oh, and the tour is FREE!!!
