You'd never expect to find a tea farm hidden among the farmland outside Stockton, California—but that's exactly where Redwood Tea Estate is quietly changing what people think is possible.
In this episode of Field Trips with Tara, I visit with Patrick Sunbury to learn how he left a career in landscape architecture to pursue a completely different path: growing premium tea in California. Together, we explore the tea fields, walk through the beautiful gardens, and discover the process of turning fresh tea leaves into the cup in your hands.
It's a story about innovation, perseverance, and proving that agriculture is always evolving.
