Beautiful tea farm. Trolley tour was very nice. It was very interesting to see the factory where the tea is made. Nice drive out to the farm.

It was SO hot but the guide made it interesting & tried to help with the heat by keeping the trolley moving & getting a breeze for us. Very interesting to learn about tea plants & their longevity & history of heir birth in the US.

It is not conveniently located and the tour lasted as long as the drive out there. I was also expecting a much larger selection of tea to purchase.
Our trolley driver was great.

We enjoyed the entire visit...the Trolley Tour, the tea tastings, the video and the opportunity to view all the machinery and the process of making tea. The gift shop is an added plus and our purchasing different teas as well as other products.
