Tea growing

The world of tea includes specific terms, classifying the quality of the leaves: whole, broken, ground. Grades vary, influencing taste. Understanding these distinctions helps you choose the right tea for your personal preferences.

Growing tea in your garden is possible with the Camellia Sinensis shrub, which produces beautiful leaves and flowers. It requires acid soil, regular watering and moderate exposure to the sun. In France, Brittany and the Atlantic coast are ideal for its cultivation. After harvesting, you can prepare your own home-made teas by drying or roasting the leaves.
