We see tea plants mostly in hilly areas. Why can't we grown it in our house. Let's learn science behind their plantation in only that areas.

I live in Florida, the south as well. Will it grow well here?

Your Wiki link says "Kukicha (茎茶), or twig tea, also known as bōcha (棒茶), is a Japanese blend made of stems, stalks, and twigs." So in an emergency you can extract a caffeine kick from the wood! lol ;P

Very cool indeed. I'm gonna plant some at home too. Good luck with yours. (No offense to you, but a pure healthy tea tree & a skull & cross bones flag? Seems like a confusing mix of vibe)

Don't think I could grow that outside here, zone 5. My mother grew it in the house and had her plant for a long time. I do like tea but don't drink a lot of it. Mostly iced tea.

Green Tea is my absolute favorite. Earl Grey comes a close second. I believe I am zone 8 so could probably grow that outside just fine. Although it has been cold at night here lately. We even had 22 with the wind chill overnight not long ago. brrrr
