Strawberries and Tea

Today was a beautiful day in Charleston! A little on the warm side (85°) but a really nice breeze made it feel very comfortable. We decided to go to Ambrose Family Farm and pick strawberries. They have so many that are just right for picking and we filled our buckets quickly! The kids had a great time choosing the perfect strawberries to bring home. After we finished at Ambrose, we drove a short distance to The Charleston Tea Plantation. Emma and I had never been before but Gerald and Timothy had been there once before. We toured the facility and sampled some teas. Charleston Peach Tea = delicious! The first tea harvest is coming up in a couple of weeks so the machines were not up and running yet. We plan to go back to watch it all in action!

What a nice day! So glad you were able to visit the Charleston Tea Plantation, which the Bigelow family purchased in 2003. The Peach Tea sounds wonderful. Maybe you can make it back for the tea harvest, which began on Sunday!
