About Tea
Growing a tea bush on a North Indian terrace is a rewarding challenge. Tea requires strictly acidic soil (pH 4.5-5.5), high humidity, and protection from the harsh summer sun. When pruned continuously, it forms an attractive container shrub yielding fresh 'two leaves and a bud' for homegrown tea.
