Matcha Tea Plant - Camellia Sinensis Tea breeze is the trending plant used to make green, black, oolong and matcha teas. Simply harvest the young leaves, dry or steam them, and enjoy freshly brewed tea made from your own garden.
Planting & Growing Tips - Best planted in acidic, free draining soil in a sunny or lightly shaded spot. Keep well watered in dry spells and mulch annually to lock in moisture. Ideal for pots with ericaceous compost if your soil is not naturally acidic.
Attractive Evergreen Shrub - With glossy green foliage and small, fragrant white flowers in autumn, this tea plant is both productive and ornamental. Perfect for borders, woodland gardens, or patio containers where it provides year-round beauty.
Please note this plant will arrive in a nursery pot, not a decorative pot.

Watering Keep the root zone evenly moist, particularly while the plant is establishing and when flower buds or fruit are developing. Rainwater is preferable in hard-water areas for acid-loving plants. Avoid waterlogging, but do not allow container-grown plants to dry out for long periods.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in acidic, well-drained ericaceous soil or compost. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Shelter from cold drying winds and strong early-morning sun, especially when flower buds are developing.
