Tea tree (Teu cha) Camellia senensis - Small evergreen tree
(usually pruned to sbrub form) with 3 inch fragrant white blooms. This
variety is the parent species that has been used to produce the gorgeous
decorative garden camellias grown in warmer climates. The leaves are used
to produce both green and black teas. Green tea is made by drying the
leaves, black tea by fermenting the leaves before drying. Tea conossieurs
very often prefer the tea made from a plant from a given area of the world
(China, Ceylon, India) or blend the leaves with those of other plants, such
as bergamot orange to produce specific blends (Earl Grey). Medicinally,
the Chinese use tea as an anti-toxic to releive coughs, headaches, and digestive
problems. Tea compresses have been used to treat, among other problems,
bruises, burns, and dog bite. The seeds are the source of tsubaki oil,
used in soaps and hair preparations. Hardy to 20F (-12.2C);
