British tea groves

Sep 26, 2006 1 Replies

I saw a piece last night on the extended growing season in Britain due to global warming which allow grapes and olives to flourish. Also tea trees have adapted to the new climate. It doesn't look like a row plantation but groves of bushes maybe chest high. Has anyone tried a cuppa of tea grown in Britain?

Yes, the English grown tea from Cornwall - Tregothnan Tea - though expensive is an excellent cup reminiscent of Darjeeling. Before I tried some I was sceptical that the English climate could produce an acceptable tea - but happy to be proved wrong.
