Synopsis

Tea gardening has a rich history and cultural background. According to historical evidence, tea drinking became a daily habit in the 3rd century CE. However, the plants used were grown for medicinal purposes long before that. Tea cultivation has laid the foundation for modern medicine. Yet, the traditional methods of preparing healing drinks from these plants haven't been lost either. As you'll learn from this guidebook, growing tea is one of the easiest ways to learn the basics of gardening. 

Before you begin planting your garden, you'll need to familiarize yourself with the basics of tea farming. This book will list all the tools you need for planting, growing, harvesting, and preparing tea. You'll learn that teas require specific growing conditions, including soil and agro-climatic conditions. Depending on the amount of space you have, you'll need to decide where to establish your garden. This will also affect which species and varieties you'll be able to grow.

There is a wide range of tea species you can grow at home. There are chapters dedicated to giving you a list of recommended teas, as well as plenty of practical instructions on how to plant them, and for beginners, we've listed a number of easy-to-grow herbs and their purposes. You'll also learn how to identify diseased plants and what to do about them. Once your herbs have matured, you can refer to the harvesting instructions for safe, long-term preservation.
