Tea is becoming more and more popular in the US due to emerging health and wellness trend among younger consumers. So tea is becoming a passion all over USA. More than 21% of “Tea With Nipun” web site users are from the US. Therefore I thought to bring some information on Camellia forest tea garden in North Carolina for those who wish to plant tea (Yes possible in USA !) not only to hand craft their own tea but also for ornamental purposes.

Camellia sinensis is the species which is used to make black, green, oolong, white teas specially in Asia and Africa. But there are some other ornamental species belong to the genus “Camellia” which you can purchase from this tea garden. This tea garden at Camellia Forest was established in 2006 to provide an experiential resource for developing practical knowledge on growing and processing tea. Here they also test different varieties in their ever-growing collection, including new cultivars and selections.

Owners also share their experiences with tea through custom classes, hand’s-on workshops, tea tastings, and tours of our tea gardens near Chapel Hill, NC.

Below are some work shops that USA tea lovers will love to join at this tea paradise,

2019 workshops – dates TBD

a) June and July: Intro to tea (Saturday), harvest and process (Sunday)

b) September and October: Intro to tea (Saturday), grow your own (Sunday) For those who have joined for June and July, classes, they offer: “Pick your own” weekends in July and August – pick and make your own tea!

You have also got the opportunity to buy tea plants (Camellia sinensis and other ornamental varieties) via https://camforest.com/

But it’s really worth if you can arrange a trip to this tea garden and gain a good experience and an understanding before making purchasing decision.
