Native to Asia, tea is the most widely
consumed drink on the planet next to
water. Fortunately, you don’t have to
go all the way to Asia to benefit from its
soothing and sometimes medicinal
qualities. In fact, you can grow it
right in your own garden.
O
ne product we crave for better living is
tea. Among the oldest drinks in the world,
tea is both delicious and associated with
health benefits like improved digestion and
relaxation. Tea detoxes, rejuvenates and relaxes,
and assists in sleep, and those are just a few
examples of what we see on tea packaging in
our local stores. But why go shopping for tea
when you can grow it in your backyard? Enjoy
all the benefits of the freshest, most organic tea
there is by growing a tea garden.
