Question & Answer

Just I want to know if the Tea plant Camellia sinensis ,called white Tea From: RESERVOIR VIC

This is just a normal Tea Plant and the way tea is processed determines if you have black or white tea. #TeaPlant1114

I was wondering whether you could email me a copy of the tea pruning guide. I was given a paper copy some time ago and have since misplaced it. Regards, David From: SALISBURY QLD
