Tea Camellias
Tea Camellias (Camellia sinensis var. sinensis) are revered for their role in producing one of the world's most beloved beverages: tea. These evergreen shrubs, native to Asia, boast glossy, dark green leaves and delicate white flowers with golden stamens. Beyond their ornamental appeal, Tea Camellias are cultivated for their young leaves and leaf buds, which are harvested to produce various types of tea, including green, black, white, and oolong. Whether grown in gardens or as potted plants indoors, they thrive in well-draining, acidic soil and partial shade, mimicking their natural habitat. With proper care, including regular pruning and adequate watering, Tea Camellias can provide an endless supply of fresh leaves for brewing your favorite cup of tea, making them a delightful and rewarding addition to any tea lover's collection.
