TEA Plants Camellia sinensis (yes this is the plant that you use to make tea ...

Im a huge tea fan. I thought it'd be fun to grow my own tea. After checking at lowes, osh, and other stores with gardening sections, I decided to check on Amazon. I guess I should say I was pretty afraid of ordering a plant online. I gave it a shot anyway and I'm glad I did. Living in CA, I was afraid the plant would either be thrown away or torn apart by the government officials that had to search it. Yet another expectation was destroyed. The plant arrived perfectly in tact today with awesome packaging. Not one leave had fallen. It makes my kitchen smell delicious. I highly recommend this plant.

Got my little plant in the mail very well packaged. Lots of newspaper and a heat pad to keep it from freezing along the way.The plant is healthy, and was upon arriving. I'll be growing it in my indoor growing area for a while. Looking forward to when it's big enough to start making tea from.

The plant arrived half dead and small. What was left has taken about 6 months to bring back. Now, the plant is doing well again and really starting to grow. I be fair, I did buy this plant in the winter, but I live in South Florida and weather was not really an issue for me, but it could have impacted the plant in transit.

Arrived healthy and green. It was wrapped in peat moss to keep to roots lively and took well to the small planter I put it in. It has survived the brutal Los Angeles summer just fine. I cant wait till it grows enough to make some tea! Only a few year wait left!

I have many teas and cant wait to have this beauty growing in my garden.plant arrived weeks early and in good condition. I will probably be ordering another soon for my step dad who also loves tea

Buy from a different seller. Perhaps go the Terrestrial Seed Company. I bought from this seller on Amazon and Terrestrial Seed Company. My plants from this seller were small and sickly and died. The plants from Terrestrial Seed Company looked healthy from the start and have survived and done well.

The plant arrived quick and alive. About 4in, I planted immedietly after it arrived. Hopefully, I'll have some green tea next 2 or 3 year :)

Tea plant arrived in a timely manner and was kept warm with a special rocky package.But, plant was tiny! 9" tall. I thought it would be big enough to have flowers like in the photograph.
