Larry,
Thanks for creating this video. I wanted to mention that tea plants could survive temperature below 40 if you heavily mulch them in late fall. I have been growing 3 different varieties of camellia sinensis for 5 years now in Atlanta, Georgia and plants of 3 different varieties (Japanese, Chinese & Sochi) have all survived our winters. So at least it works for zone 7b. Plants also prefer acidic soils.
Getting plants to grow is somewhat of a challenge but getting the flavor profile of a plant at par with commercial farms is very challenging. Based on my own observations and research I have done, you need about 3-4 years to reach an acceptable level. Elevation is also critical to developing a complex flavor of your tea. Otherwise you are just growing the plant for flowers -
How big do they get?
Also, is it hard to grow them from the seed? -
will it evetually get strong enogh to where it dies in the winter and comes back in the summer or spring please reply

Hi thanks for sharing. I would love to buy some. Are the tea plants organic or are they sprayed with any sprays or chemicals?

You need a place to ferment the tea to make black. It can be done by putting it into a special environment or cooking it carefully
