All the world's teas originate from one single species, the Camellia Sinensis, an evergreen shrub which produces small white flowers
and berries similar to the nutmeg.
There are two main varieties of Camellia Sinensis: the Chinese variety which grows to 2-3 metres in height, and the Assam variety from India which grows up to 20 metres.
The plants are pruned to ensure that they don't grow above 1,5 metres, to facilitate harvesting.
