Publisher's Synopsis
Tea has been a favorite beverage of many cultures for centuries. Drunk originally in China for medicinal purposes it is now mainly drunk to get a 'lift'. But there are now dozens of different teas from many plant sources and all come in different types of packaging, loose, in cans or boxes or in little bags. We can also grow teas at home. Grow real tea (botanical name: Camellia sinensis) at home. You don't need a large garden to grow your own tea; just a planter on a balcony would work just fine. Understanding the tea plant, its growing requirements, and how to harvest the leaves will allow you to enjoy homegrown tea. The same plant can be used to make green, oolong, or black tea. Growing a garden of tea and herbs can allow you to enjoy your own blends, as well as the beautiful flowers and aromas of fresh herbs.In Grow and Harvest Tea at Home, we'll teach you how to plant, harvest, prepare, and brew some of the more popular tisanes and teas.
