Mandy asks…
I want to make my own tea, starting from scratch. I want to know how how to grow tea and harvest it, how to mix the ingredients, and all other things associated with making home made tea.
Growing it is an interesting subject. I recently read an article similar to your question on the net and it was in England. Supposedly, they grow tea in Southern England and some lady wanted to know about varietals of tea that could be grown in Northern England where it is much colder. I am not a botanist, but there seem to be two varietals used in England, one that is more hardy in the North.
I don’t remember where I read this, since I read stuff all over the net, but it was recent. You might want to check out some UK sites using Google and see if you can locate the varietal of tea(s) that can grow in temperate regions or climates. From what I know, most teas are grown like in Ceylon, India, Nepal, up in the mountains and on the sides of mountains where they get a lot of fog and rain, I would imagine, damp, rich, soil. I can’t be sure about this because I am not a tea expert, so you will just have to check it out.
I imagine you can hunt something down and start growing it if you want to.
