British tea groves
I saw a piece last night on the extended growing season in Britain due
to global warming which allow grapes and olives to flourish. Also tea trees have adapted to the new climate. It doesn't look like a row plantation but groves of bushes maybe chest high. Has anyone tried a cuppa of tea grown in Britain? Jim

This is the only homegrown British tea I'm aware of, but perhaps there are others. I've never tried it.

British tea groves
Yes, the English grown tea from Cornwall - Tregothnan Tea - though
expensive is an excellent cup reminiscent of Darjeeling. Before I tried some I was sceptical that the English climate could produce an acceptable tea - but happy to be proved wrong.
