Well, I grew a Camellia Sinensis plant a couple years ago. Only got to be a
foot tall before it started to die. So I harvested the leaves, seared them
a little bit, chopped them up a bit and steeped them, and it was the
sweetest tea I'd ever had. Stunningly sweet, even though the brew was
almost clear.

Hello Slint!,
What part of the world and area are you located? I would love to grow
one as well. Maybe not for harvesting but who knows? Just a challenge
to try to grow something I really love alot. And I must say that I
have been succesful here in South Coastal Texas for most of what I
have tried Eeeh hawww!!! Maybe the climate here will be good. Has
anyone had any success in a US southern (subtropical) climate? And
where can I obtain seedlings? Do they need grafting?
Very cool job you must have done to get such sweet nice leaves even as
the tree was dying. Wonder if the tree grew for many years how your
harvest would be?
