Join us as we “spill the tea” on one of Charleston’s most historic brews! And who better to learn from than the Holy City’s resident expert on the subject – Darren Hartford, owner of Oliver Pluff & Company, an award-winning establishment specializing in rare teas and timeless blends.
Ours is a country steeped in tea history! When was this popular beverage first introduced in America – and by whom? What plants were used to make tea in Colonial Charles Towne – and which varieties were the most popular? How did tea start a revolution, first in Charleston and then in Boston? Get all the details as Mr. Hartford serves up the answers to these questions and more at this special program hosted by the Daniel Island Historical Society. Plus, enjoy some savory Colonial-inspired tea samples from Oliver Pluff & Company’s beautiful shop in downtown Charleston!
Born and raised in Maine, Mr. Hartford spent 28 years in the Air Force, which gave him a unique opportunity to travel the world and experience many different tea and coffee cultures. He and his family now call Daniel Island home and he is enjoying sharing the story of early American beverages. This event is FREE. www.dihistoricalsociety.com
