May 24 First Flush FesTEAval The First Flush FesTEAval is a celebration of America's own tea garden and its popular product line, American Classic Tea. The festival name, First Flush, is defined as the growth of new leaves on the tea plants in the springtime after a winter of rest. Their 'first flush' of new growth is harvested to produce what avid tea drinkers deem to be the most unique, fresh, and amazing cup of tea. The festival is not just about tea. Residents from Charleston and all neighboring towns trek to picturesque Wadmalaw Island to enjoy music, entertainment, art, and local cuisine. Fun for the whole family!
