Grown your own tea with these fabulous hardy tea plants. Camellia sinensis is the evergreen plant from which we get tea leaves and as well as producing fragrant leaves they also have delicate white flowers in the winter months.
Although originating in the himalayas, these tea plants are surprisingly easy to grow in this country either indoors or out. Use the leaves fresh in an simple strainer to make your own delicious green tea at home, or experiment with drying the leaves for a more traditional cuppa! We have now sold out of these larger tea plants but we will have more available from next week.

How to Look After our Plants
Looking after your Tea Plants
These instructions are sent with the plant gift
Tea plants are members of the Camellia family and are really outdoor plants, but when they are young they make decorative pot plants in a cool room. Tea plants are quite slow growing, but eventually they can reach heights of 2 metres.
While the plant is indoors, keep it as cool as you can and make sure there is plenty of natural light but not direct sunlight. An East or West facing window is ideal. Outdoors your plants will do well in pots on a sheltered patio or in a partially shaded spot. Tea plants are hardy but whilst young they should be protected from severe frosts.
Tea plants produce small fragrant flowers in April/May and dark glossy leaves year round. To develop a more ‘bushy’ shape you may wish to pinch out the top few leaves every now and then.
Once you have a sizable bush the leaves can be harvested fresh to make green tea or dried to make traditional or ‘brown’ tea.
