Their plants did so well that they continued planting until they had a hillside covered in plants and eventually realized they were harvesting much more tea than we could drink thmeselves! They make handcrafted tea. Their garden is located just North of Asheville NC on a steep\, southwest facing slope. They use sustainable\, eco-friendly methods to grow tea. which is picked\, rolled and dried throughout the spring and summer every year. No chemicals are used in the growing or processing of the tea. Through years of dedicated effort they have discovered the best practices and can provide you with the highest quality local tea\, plants and seeds. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for the Workshop\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n Growing Tea In WNC with Red Sun Tea\n \n \n \n Step 1 of 2\n \n \n 50%\n \n \n PhoneThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Contact DetailsName(Required)\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Enter Email\n \n \n \n Confirm Email\n \n \n \n PhoneCommunity or OrganizationIf you are a member of a community or group\, let us know 🙂How did you hear about this event?OtherWord of MouthRed Sun TeaWeave the People Social MediaWeave the People EmailThrough Weave the People EmailGooglePast ParticipantPlease select whichever fits best.Newsletter Signup\n \n Weave the People Newsletter\n \n \n Red Sun Tea Newsletter\n Signup to receive newsletters from producing organizations.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Payment DetailsHow would you like to pay?(Required)VenmoCredit/Debit CardPlease choose from venmo or credit/debit card.
