Best Answer

There are actually three states in the United States that grow tea: South Carolina, Hawaii, and Washington state.

Hawaii, being in a tropical area and having high-altitude areas with a lot of rainfall, is ideal for the tea plant. However, the higher cost of living makes the commercial production of tea less feasible there. Only a small amount of artisan teas are produced in Hawaii.

South Carolina has an old tea plantation, that is now owned by Bigelow, which sells it under the name "American Classic".

Washington State has a small tea growing operation, run by Sakuma Brothers produce.

These days, tea is harvested all over the word, really. The most well-known tea growing regions are located in Japan, China, India and Sri Lanka. Different regions are generally known for a specific type of tea. Perhaps the most famous tea growing region--although maybe not necessarily the highest quality--is the Darjeeling region of India, which is mainly known for the black tea it produces, although it is technically closer to an oolong tea.


Growing tea in Kentucky?

Kentucky is probably much too cold to grow the tea plant outdoors. You might be able to grow tea plants in a cold frame, or you could grow them in a greenhouse. For comparison, coastal South Carolina and the milder coastal regions of Washington State both have commercial tea growing operations. The interior of the country, including Kentucky, usually has too extreme cold snaps for the plant. It can take a light frost but cannot handle prolonged cold.

Where did tea oringinally come from?

Asia and it is still the primary tea growing area. Only one place in the United States grows tea and it is an island off the coast of South Carolina.

When and how did tea come to America?

It came with the colonists. On one island off South Carolina one person tried to grow tea. The plants are still there producing tea. When tea is grown only the tops are cut off the plant, so that means the original plants are still growing 200 years later. One of the products that came on ships to the colonies was English tea. The smugglers smuggled in Dutch tea which was popular because it was cheaper than the English tea.
