Grow Your Own Tea
Once upon a time, Camellia sinensis (the tea plant) was only found in Southeast Asia, especially China. But when you’re onto a good thing, it’s all but impossible to keep it exclusively to yourself. Camellia sinensis spread to Japan in the 6th century; Chinese tea plants were subversively stolen by the British Empire to begin plantations in India, and later Sri Lanka; and in recent decades, tea production has exploded in parts of Africa and South America.
And now, you can grow tea in your own backyard.
