Description: Live tea plant propagated from plants at former Lipton Tea plantation.Grow your own tea. These plants are cuttings from a former Lipton owned plantation. This camellia species is very easy to grow and cost much less than our grafted camellias. We suggest beginning with at least 3 plants if you want to try your hand at making tea. This small leaf form, tends to be vigorous, upright, easily established, thus making a nice 4 to 5 ft. hedge. Large quantities are available of these 12 to 18 inch plants..This variety is the plant from which green, black, white, and oolong tea are made. Each type (green vs. black) is made using different drying methods.Tea leaves can be harvested about every two weeks during active growing season, but a hedge may be needed to supply a family with a daily supply. Fresh made tea is much better than tea that has been stored for a few months.Green tea contains caffeine and it has been used to increase alertness, cancer prevention, to lower cholesterol, and to prevent-delay Parkinson's disease.All tea is made from the same plant, just a different technique for types of tea.Zone 7b-10Full SunHeight 48-72 inchesSpread 48-72 inchesThe plants we ship are 12 to 15 inches tall in 3 inch pots.. These plants are about 12 months and strongly rooted in pot. We feel these plants are of exceptional value for the price paid.
