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.

Maya Trevithick
Field Lead
Maya keeps a steady rhythm for pruning, soil checks, and picking windows. She shows simple ways visitors can move along rows, how to spot the right leaf set, and why gentle handling matters for a clean cup.
Tom Prowse
Garden Host
Tom greets groups at the gate, sets an easy pace for the visit, and answers practical questions about the craft—from light pruning to withering trays and the tools we use through the season.
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
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.
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.
