Guests are invited to join the Charleston Museum for a special series that explores beverages with longstanding ties to history, especially during the American Revolution. In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of our nation, join Museum Curators and Oliver Pluff & Co. for a special workshop on tea for the next installment in the series.

As you learn more about tea’s influence and historical presence, Oliver Pluff & Co. will take you on a guided, specially designed tasting journey while you sample a variety of teas and learn more about their history, notes, flavors, and brewing traditions. Enhance your experience with an exclusive look at items from the Museum’s History collection that are not on exhibit. Tickets are all-inclusive and include 3 tastings, a full serving of tea, light bites, a Curator talk with access to special Museum collection items, and education from a local tea expert.
