Touring the Bigelow Charleston Tea Plantation with the Bigelows…Oh My #AmericasTea

written by Rebecca E. Parsons

It is 90 degrees on my tiny island today and I am sipping my third glass of Bigelow Plantation Mint iced tea. And I am dreaming…oh yes, daydreaming about my soon to be dream come true. Now you may think I am exaggerating my daydreams…but they are really about to come true. Next Tuesday, HIMself and I are traveling to Charleston, SC as a guest of the Bigelow Tea family.

Tea Moment Memories

The three day excursion promises many delightful Tea Moment Memories. We will be meeting the Bigelows the first evening and having a tea tasting with Cindi Bigelow the next morning. Be still my heart!!!

And if that is not amazing enough, {this is the dream part}  I am going to have my cup of Plantation Mint tea at the actual plantation…the Charleston tea Plantation. I wrote about this earlier:

Everyday Moments and Daydreams

I recently discovered that Bigelow Tea Corporation has a tea plantation in Charleston, South Carolina. I once lived in Charleston. I love that city and I always thought that I would return when I retired. Many special moments happened there. I am just imagining another…sipping a cup of ‘my’ Plantation Mint at the Bigelow Tea Plantation…aaahhhhh, a girl can dream can’t she? Oh yes, that would be a good dream.

And that particular daydream is coming true next Wednesday. I hope to share images of moi, with my cup of Plantation Mint, at the Charleston Tea Garden…and so much more!!!

 

Several other bloggers will share in my dream.

We have been deep in discussions about what to wear. Do you think this dress is too much?

Victorian Fashion - Children's Party Dresses - Godey's Ladies
Me either…okay I have gone what some might say is a tad  silly, moonstruck, awestruck, cuckoo, dingy, flipped out, kooky, mad as a hatter, nutty, out of one’s tree, beside ones wacky, beside oneself with excitement…much like the white rabbit at the Mad Hatters tea party…
You know how much I love my Bigelow Tea. I foresee several Tea Moment Memories in my near future…

    Love it! I don’t think that dress is too much, I am just not sure how your hoop skit will fit in the carry on! Your post just made me all giddy again. As Ted has been known to say “Who is happier than we?” See you soon!
