Our Range of Tea Plants - Camellia sinensis. The tea plant is the bush whose leaves are used to produce all types of tea: green, black, or white. The variety 'Théojardin', selected for its hardiness (-10°C), is increasingly planted in gardens across Europe. The Camellia sinensis var. assamica originates from the tropical regions of Assam in India. Adapted to warm and humid climates, this variety is mainly used for producing robust and full-bodied black tea. In contrast, the Camellia sinensis 'Benifuuki', a Japanese hybrid variety, is widely used for making health teas in Japan. Another notable cultivar is 'Yabukita', which dominates tea production in Japan and is used for most green teas, such as Sencha.
The tea plant is an evergreen bush with a bushy habit, reaching about 2 meters in height and producing small white flowers with yellow stamens. It thrives in acidic, well-drained soil and prefers a mild, humid climate with partial shade. It can be grown in pots on a terrace or directly in the ground in a flower bed. The harvest of young shoots takes place in May, with the most tender leaves being the most aromatic.

The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:
In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
