About the Garden

Penpol Tea Gardens England sits on the edge of Feock with steady sea air and a working rhythm shaped by the Cornish season. We host small groups who want a close look at how tea is grown—short picks, quiet row walks, and simple tastings.

Each visit follows a clear plan set by the team on the day. We focus on safe paths, clean handling, and plain explanations, so everyone leaves with a clear view of how leaves travel from bush to cup.

Tea Visit Options

Morning Leaf Pick

from £12 / person

A gentle start by the lower rows with short notes on leaf grades, followed by a careful pick along a signed path. Good for first-time visitors and small families.

Row Walk & Views

Small group walking a mown path between green tea rows

from £10 / person

A slow loop with simple notes on shelter belts, drainage, and harvesting times. Expect firm paths and wide views of the creek when the weather is clear.

Young Tea Hour

from £9 / child

Short, simple tasks for children with an adult: watering cans, leaf sorting on a tray, and a calm close-up look at the bushes with a team member on hand.

Visitor Questions

What should we wear?

Choose layers you don’t mind brushing against leaves. Closed shoes with good grip are best. In wet weather, paths can stay soft even after rain has passed.

Can we bring snacks?

Personal snacks are fine in the picnic spot near the lodge. Please avoid food in the rows—tastings are arranged in a signed area with the team.

Is the visit suitable for pushchairs?

The lodge area is on firm ground. Row paths are mown but uneven in places. Many families choose the lodge-focused option if wheels are tricky on the day.
