Are you trying to get healthy, increase your blood circulation, get your heart beating properly, enhance your energy, and lose weight then you have come to the right place and I want to introduce you to Green4Tea.
What makes that tea better than other Green Tea you can buy is that it will make twice as much tea for you, you get the pleasure of making it on your own and it works much better. Other products are manufactured for volume, not quality, not purity, not weight.

My experience in doing this has lead me to believe that it's just like building loudspeakers. It's easy to grow tea bushes and to make green tea as long as you don't actually care about making _good_ green tea. If you want it to actually be good, it becomes very difficult.
I believe we can expect US based tea growing to become more popular in the next decade given the dual drivers of Post Depression Isolationism and reaction against excessive Food Miles. There is no doubt tea can grow in many places in North America and is already to some degree commercial in South Carolina, Hawaii, and Washington State, and has to my knowledge been trialed in Texas, Louisiana and California. The degree of commercial success available is determined by many factors and many previous failures have been due to pursuing the wrong market model. As pointed out by Scott, making tea is not the issue, it's making good tea that's difficult. That however, is more of a process issue than an agronomic problem. I have tasted excellent tea off US soil and also some pretty mediocre tea - made from the same leaf. Good processing can be learned - expensively by trial and error, more effectively by following instruction and teaching.
One observation I have, however, pertinent to the success of would be US tea growers. Over the 30 years I have been studying this rare species, I have noticed a distinct trait common to them all - they would rather re-invent the process than copy and adopt techniques that have served the industry well for 100's of years. As an ex product developer I of course applaud this approach, but as a technical consultant I warn that "Rules can only be successfully broken when you fully understand them". Certain it is that there are not yet any tea makers in the USA who understand the rules sufficiently to rewrite the text books, or make a reputation for tea growing.
