Christine Barnes first planted the Barnesbeg Estate in 1877, which is how it became known as ‘Barnes-bagh’ or ‘Barnes Garden’. Rather than grown from seed, the plants now cultivated here have been developed from leaf cuttings cloned from carefully selected ‘mother plants’. This allows the garden managers to know exactly how the bushes will grow, and what the character of the tea will be.
