Growing Tea Ingredients

[Stitch]

I am interested in growing my own ingredients for tea. Does anybody have any suggestions or know of where to point me for research?

Depends on the tea. :-)

Herbal, black or green???

Do you mean just the leaf or the milk and sugar too? All those on the one property would be a challenge.

The plant is cammelia sinensis. Google that and "cultivation" for a zillion hits. If all else fails treat it as you would a flowering cammelia for a good chance of success.

I am wanting a mix .... But I guess my interest is in this order: 1) herbal 2) combination of herbal and green 3) green I am also not very familiar with black tea. If it would taste better to have a combination of herbal and black tea then I would be interested. I am very new to growing tea so I am not really sure.
