Facts About Tea
Tea is made from Camellia sinensis varieties, with the leaves grown or processed differently. Only herbal teas and South African redbush tea have no Camellia sinensis. This evergreen is thought to come from north Burma plus the Yunnan and Sichuan provinces of China, with plants in Southwest Asia being 1800-1900s hybrids. Cultivated bushes are pruned to waist height for plucking. Once only tropical, some varieties can now tolerate marine climates in the UK and US.

 An extensive tea plantation in Malaysia.
