Sounds good! What zone are you in? If you are in a rather cold plant hardiness zone, you might have to grow your tea plant in a green house, hot house, or plasticked in back porch type thingy. Tea plants are evergreen, medium sized shrub (4-6 ft.) and can be grown outside in zones 7-9.


You might be able to get seeds at your local nursary, or try online at Seedrack.com.





“Plant seeds immediately in a jar three-quarters full of moist


vermiculite. Cover jar with lid or saran (with rubber band). Place jar


in warm (not hot) place, and check periodically for roots along sides


or in bottom of jar. Remove sprouted seedlings and plant in pots.


Return unsprouted seeds to jar, replace top, and watch for more roots.


Seeds will not all sprout at the same time.”

Culture: Camellia sinensis need full sun to part shade. They prefer a well drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter (2 parts peat moss or compost to 2 parts loam to 1 part sand or perlite). The root hairs are very fine, so the plant can not be allowed to dry out completely. Increase watering when the plant is actively growing and when the plant is in bloom. Fertilize every 2-3 weeks in the spring through fall, use a fertilizer for acid loving plants diluted to ½ the strength recommended on the label. Repot every 2-4 years in late winter or early spring.
Reply:You might have to wait until fall before being able to purchase a tea plant. Here is one web page.

I also must caution you against your overwhelming confidence, as it will likely precipitate your demise. The world knows that I possess the greatest tea, and I find your assertion upon my throne to be rather laughable.





HAHAHAHAHA. I laugh.





You should tea bag yourself.
