Tregothnan

Rare plants have been nurtured by the same family at Tregothnan since 1334. The first tea was grown in the UK in 1999 to put the ‘English into English Tea’ and the most British tea in history was first sold in 2005. Now, over 26 miles of tea bushes thrive in the unique microclimate, seven miles inland and with a deep-sea creek bringing regular fog. Manuka bushes have also thrived here since the 1880’s, the first grown outside of New Zealand and producing the most delicious honey. Although Tregothnan is very small on the world’s tea production scale, we counter limitations of scale by producing some of the world’s rarest and highest rated teas. Stay in one of The Tregothnan Estate’s nine self-catering cottages all located on the shores of Cowlands Creek.
