Even though North America is dominated by coffee, tea is emerging thanks to health and wellness trend specially among younger generation. Hawaii is known for her tea for few decades, but the passion of tea growing has already spread to USA mainland as well. Charleston tea plantation in South Carolina is the best example comes to my mind. Since USA is the No 1 viewer of “Tea with Nipun” website with 2809 users so far, I decided to bring more information on “The United States League of Tea Growers” (USLTG) for USA tea enthusiasts and of course specially for those who wish to grow tea in the US mainland.

Objectives of This reputed organization are to pass knowledge for specialty tea growing, encourage collaboration between tea growers, promote tea agriculture, recruit academia to teach “best practices” for growers, and represent US tea growers across the world.

The US tea growers league has been made up of dedicated tea growers, educators, enthusiasts, and retailers to actively encourage growth and production of high value specialty teas within the US. They provide education, resources, and support in all facets of your tea growing journey!

There is also a Pacific North West group under the main body. Members have the privilege of doing variety of businesses that can assist them with getting camellia sinensis plants, domestically grown finished tea, and other resources for learning more about the world of tea. Main officials of USLTG are as follows,

Mark Adams – The President

Angela McDonald – The Secretary

Advisory Committee & Founding Members are Nigel Melican and Jason McDonald

So if there is anyone in the US who wish to grow tea, it’s really worth joining with this reputed tea organization.
