Description

Originally established in 1960 by Thomas J. Lipton (of Lipton tea), this tea plantation is now owned by tea giant Bigelow, and is a great place to go if you love tea. You'll learn all about the history of tea, as well as the growing, harvesting, and tea making processes that go into a great cup of tea. The plantation is unique in that it is one of the only tea plantations in the United States (most of them are in India and Asia), and guests are invited to explore the fields as well as purchase and enjoy different varieties of Bigelow tea.
