Charleston Tea Plantation

In 1987 Mack Fleming, former head of Lipton's research Team, and the tea taster William Barclay (Bill) Hall, purchased the Wadmalaw Island farm and named it Charleston Tea Plantation. Now Hall runs the plantation in partnership with Bigelow Tea Company. The estate's American Classic Tea, which Hall created in 1980s, has been the official tea of the White House since 1987. Here you have some pictures of this beautiful place, and a picture of me with Bill.
