Celebrate National Tea Day at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens

Today is National Tea Day, and there’s no better place in Charleston to celebrate than Magnolia Plantation & Gardens. Whether you’re a longtime local or just visiting for the day, we invite you to slow down and savor our Global Tea Collection, a thoughtfully curated selection that brings tea traditions from around the world straight to the Lowcountry.

From timeless classics to fragrant blends, there’s something here for every palate. Prefer a traditional cup? Enjoy the bold richness of English Breakfast, the historic character of Bohea, or the citrusy elegance of Earl Grey. Looking for something more aromatic or soothing? Try our Masala Chai, Gunpowder Green Tea, or unwind with Chamomile and Lavender. For a refreshing twist, our fruit-forward blends like Ginger Peach and Passionfruit Peach are perfect companions for a warm Southern afternoon. Each tea is sourced from premier growing regions across the globe, then packaged locally to ensure freshness while supporting our community.

There are plenty of ways to enjoy the experience today. Stop by the Peacock Café for a cup to sip as you stroll along the Ashley River, or settle in with friends, relax, and take in the vibrant blooms throughout the gardens. Want to bring the experience home? Visit the Magnolia Gift Shop to explore our full line of loose-leaf and bagged teas, and don’t forget a jar of our Cork Jar Honey for the perfect finishing touch.

Join us today to celebrate National Tea Day, and step yourself in the beauty, flavor, and charm of Magnolia.
