Welcome once again to the conversation.

The Matter Podcast. I'm your host John Harris. It has been just about a week I guess

since I've been behind the microphone here doing the podcast. I've been away. I was in Charleston for about five days and of course when you're traveling

there's the one day you have to spend just traveling and then unpacking and so it's really

it's a seven day commitment for a five day trip so but I did have a good time I did get some

time on the weekend as well a day and a half really an afternoon and a day to see some things and I've been to Charleston I guess three times now but this time I got to see some things that I hadn't seen before.

I got to see the, I think they call it the angel, the angel oak.

If I'm, the name is escaping me now.

I'm pretty sure it's called the angel Oak. It's a big live oak and it's just huge. It's just it's incredible.

You could probably look it up online. I probably could have had an image here que cued up but I don't so Angel Oak and then I also got to go see with my wife the tea

plantation that is in South Carolina the Charleston Tea Company. It's the only

tea plantation in the United States apparently. There are no other tea and so I I did, you can go there,

you can have some samples and I did.

And I'll say this about it.

I think we did buy a little bit of tea there

just because, well, we're here, right?

We're at the tea plantation. When we going to be able to do this

again but but the thing is as I was even drinking it I thought to myself you know this

isn't really I don't know if this is as good as the Gold River tea and I

would rather support the Gold River tea company but since we were there and it's

American tea in Charleston I thought you know we'll get some of this too because we do drink

lemonade. In fact, I like mixing them. And they did have a flavor that Gold River doesn't have.
