My parents were in Charleston so I asked them to pick me up some tea if they saw some. Unfortunately, the only thing they found were tea bags. While it isn’t astounding, it is much better than I expected. The dry leaves do not look like dust from the floor. There is a fair amount of stem and leaf it appears. We’ll play with it later to verify. The liquor aroma is decent. Slightly reminds me of some Indian teas. Slightly bready, a bit metallic, and somewhat woody. The taste is mid-range for tea bags. Not the best I’ve had but better than Lipton. You could drink it with milk/sugar. A lemon would probably be nice. The taste is somewhat like the liquor aroma I was correct in my assumption about the stems. They aren’t big but their color is quite noticeable against the darker leaves. IT is CTC but it seems different compared with India CTC. A decent brew but probably wouldn’t buy again.

There are several good teas from this company. They were bought by Bigelow a while back. I have purchased a few of their loose leaf teas and the peach one is very nice, both hot and iced. They have changed their name to Charleston Tea Garden.

The peach tea is now named “Peachy Peach.”
