Misty Ridge Tea Estate
Charleston, South Carolina, USA
Misty Ridge grows Camellia sinensis on a few humid acres near the coast. We pluck the top two leaves and a bud by hand each spring, then wither, roll, and dry small lots in the barn the same afternoon. Because we do every step on the estate, we can offer a first-flush box that ships the week it is made. No blending, no additives, just leaves and careful timing.

Their story
This comes from a small tea grower in the coastal lowcountry of South Carolina. The season sets the pace here, not a schedule.
What makes it different: it is grown to certified organic standards, without synthetic pesticides, and the land is farmed to rebuild the soil, not wear it down.
Misty Ridge Tea Estate is tended by growers who pick and dry the leaves themselves.
From the leaf to your cup with little in between.
