You can find different varieties of tea plant, especially if you shop at nurseries that specialize in camellias. Tea leaves yield a tasty brew no matter which variety you grow, but you'll find flavor nuances associated with different cultivars.Tea is native to sub-tropical and tropical Asia, where the plants thrive at high altitudes with abundant humidity. Richmond's tea expert, Mark Ragland, shares that tea's optimal growing conditions just don't exist in the continental United States. "This plant thrives on 80 to 90 inches of rain annually at very high elevations. Unless you head to Hawaii, you won't find that microclimate," he says. But there are ways to grow tea successfully in less-than-ideal conditions.
