Has anyone tried to grow tea?
I’ve looked around online, but haven’t come up with much success. Have any of you tried to grow Camellia Sinensis? I know it’s tedious, but I think it would be super cool to grown and then make my own tea. It would taste better knowing that I made it you know?

Think Tealet has started a project to have a tea plant in all 50 states.

Youtube has some videos on growing tea and www.davesgarden.com/ see plant file on tea/camelia-sinensis. I might get a tea plant at our local garden center this summer.
