Camellia sinensis
Green Tea

Camellia sinensis is an evergreen shrub best known as the source of green tea, black tea, and white tea. It is valued both as a useful edible plant and an ornamental garden shrub, with glossy, dark green leaves and a neat, compact growth habit.

The plant typically grows 1.5–3 meters tall when cultivated, though it can be kept smaller with regular pruning. Young leaves are tender and aromatic, harvested for tea production. In cooler months, Camellia sinensis produces small, delicate white flowers with yellow stamens, adding subtle beauty to the garden.

Camellia sinensis thrives in partial shade to full sun, preferring acidic, well-drained, moisture-retentive soil. It performs best in mild climates and benefits from protection from strong afternoon sun and drying winds. Regular watering and mulching help maintain healthy growth.

Ideal for home gardens, edible landscapes, hedging, and container growing, the Green Tea plant is low-maintenance, long-lived, and highly rewarding. With proper care, it offers attractive foliage, seasonal flowers, and the unique benefit of home-grown tea leaves.
