Default China bush and Clonal bush

I believe "china bush" means that a tea is from C. sinensis rather than
C. assamensus. "Clonal bush" means that it's from bushes that are clones
from a cutting of a bush that was previously known to produce good tea.

"China bush" may tell you something about the style, but is not necessarily
a good or bad thing. "Clonal bush" really doesn't tell you anything at all
useful.
