South Carolina's Tea Plantation

SYes! You read that correctly. We have a tea plantation right here in the United States! I learned about the Charleston Tea Plantation through an adorable book I found in League City, Tx while visiting a family member over the summer. The book is called "Death by Darjeeling" by Laura Childs. When I saw it on the shelf at tis adorable store in the historic district (which, if you're in League City is basically a strip of 6-7 shops, including a tea shop I am dying to visit, but is always closed when I am there for some reason.... I'm rambling now...) 
ANYWHO.... Death by darjeeling is a novel about a spunky tea shop owner in Charleston, NC who gets sucked into her own investigation of a murder performed at one of her tea events in order to clear the name of one of her employees! She goes for a visit to the Charleston Tea Plantation!

A good friend of mine was studying meteorology near Charleston, and was lovely enough to bring me a tin of their Governor Grey tea.

Its a really lovely variation of Earl gray. A bit lighter on the bergamot. Be sure to not follow the instructions on the tin and only steep for 3 minutes, it gets bitter pretty quickly. A shorter brew lets you really enjoy the flavor of the tea. 
In case you are ever in Charleston, I recommend you visit the plantation. My friend says he highly recommends it! I know I will be planning a trip sometime soon...
