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