This is useful where there is an outlet for greywater. Greywater is the water that comes out when we purify used water from our kitchens and bathrooms - for example dishwashers, washing machines, showers, etc. When this water is purified, various salts often remain and follow out in the drainage. It is in these outlets that plants like the tamarisk are planted, which appears to be one of the most effective plants at absorbing salt from the soil it grows in. The inability to absorb excess salts in the soil can cause problems for surrounding plants, as it affects their natural water uptake ability through osmosis.</p> <p><meta charset="utf-8">You can also grow the tamarisk as a shrub.

<p><strong>Tea bush of the hardy variety 'Kolkhida': current height about 30–40 cm - 2 years old</strong><br><br>'Kolkhida' is a Georgian variety developed in the 1970s in the Samegrelo region near the Black Sea – a place with long traditions of tea growing in colder and moist conditions. The variety is bred to be especially resistant to both cold and drought. It has a broad, horizontal growth habit and small, compact leaves that make it particularly suitable for harvesting young shoots for finer types of green, white, and black tea.</p> <p><strong>Common names:</strong><span> Tea, Tea bush, Tea tree, Tea plant</span><br><strong>Scientific name:</strong><em><span> Camellia sinensis var. sinensis</span><br></em><strong>Family:</strong> <span>Theaceae</span></p> <h4><strong><span>History & use:</span></strong></h4> <p><meta charset="utf-8">Tea is consumed worldwide and is the second most common drink after water. The tea bush contains caffeine (also called theine) which stimulates energy levels as well as <em>theanine</em> (L-theanine) which provides a calming, slightly euphoric, focusing effect – unlike the coffee bush which is more focused <meta charset="utf-8">solely on caffeine’s stimulating properties. A cup of tea can thus be both energizing and calming at the same time – it is a kind of balance between the two that can be described as giving very clear focus.</p> <p><meta charset="utf-8">It is mainly leaf buds and leaves that are picked to brew tea, sometimes the flowers are also used.</p> <p>The tea bush originates from the region between China’s southern province Yunnan and the northern parts of Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. More than 2000 years ago, tea culture and tea growing began to migrate to more northern provinces in China, where new varieties developed.</p> <p><meta charset="utf-8">In its natural environment, the tea bush, or tea tree, grows at high altitudes where it can become very cold at night, and where it can also be cold during the day, with seasons and periods of snow just as we have here. Although on average it is colder here in the Nordic countries, the tea bush already has a natural hardiness against harsh environmental conditions and freezing temperatures over longer periods. Thanks to a few projects in Europe, varieties have also been developed with particularly good hardiness to suit cultivation in our climate.<meta charset="utf-8"></p> <p><strong>Comparison between tea and coffee - consumption:</strong></p> <p>Tea is a very suitable drink to consume while doing mentally demanding work thanks to its focus-inducing properties, unlike coffee which can give a somewhat more restless feeling. Tea provides a more lasting energy level without noticeable dips – coffee gives a strong energy boost followed by a drop. Tea is not as wearing on the nervous system as coffee, not only because of the lower caffeine content but also due to the interaction of other healthy substances such as theaflavins, catechins, and of course L-theanine among others. One could say that tea suits well for sedentary tasks and coffee for more physical work, but the more tea you drink, the more you notice that the energy is more than enough and that it also lasts longer. That coffee tastes very good, however, cannot be denied, and as an emergency solution when the body really needs a strong energy boost, coffee is very useful. Tea is, however, an incredibly good drink as well, and especially diverse when it comes to taste: everything from umami-flavored Sencha teas, to aromatic and full-bodied Oolong teas, to intense and flavorful Pu'er teas.</p> <p><strong>The 6 different types of tea:</strong></p> <p>All true tea types come from the species Camellia sinensis. From this bush (or tree) you can make: green, white, yellow, oolong, black, and “dark” (also called <em>Pu'er</em>) tea. The difference between them lies in their different degrees of fermentation and oxidation. <meta charset="utf-8">Below is a brief description of the process for the different tea types:</p> <p><strong>Green tea – the freshest & greenest type:</strong> the leaves are heated to 220<meta charset="utf-8">ºC immediately after harvest to stop the oxidation process and thereby "lock in" the taste and color achieved during cultivation. Then the leaves are rolled to break the leaf structure so that nutrients and flavor are more easily released during brewing. Brewing temperature: 80-85ºC.</p> <p><strong>White tea – the least processed type:</strong> the leaves are allowed to wither in the sun for 2-3 days immediately after harvest. This triggers various stress responses in the leaves resulting in the development of flavors such as sweetness and fruitiness. After this, the leaves are dried at low heat. Since white tea is never heated to a high temperature, the enzymatic oxidation process does not completely stop (as it does for green tea), therefore white tea is one of the two tea types that develop in flavor and color the longer it is stored. Similar to wines. No breaking of leaf structure occurs. Therefore, a higher brewing temperature of 95ºC is necessary to get a full extraction of the tea’s flavor compounds.</p> <p><strong>Yellow tea – fresh & green with a rounded taste:</strong> the post-harvest process is similar to green tea. The leaves are heated immediately after harvest but at a slightly lower temperature of 200<meta charset="utf-8">ºC to retain some enzymatic activity. The leaves are rolled to break the leaf structure <meta charset="utf-8">so that nutrients and flavor are more easily released during brewing. After this, the leaves are piled up to "yellow," during which the leaves oxidize partly without enzymatic activity through air exchange, partly with the small enzymatic activity that has been kept alive in the leaves, and partly with microbial activity. This increases the tea’s full-bodied qualities and reduces bitterness. This step lasts 6-8 hours. After this, the leaves are dried to reduce moisture content.</p> <p><strong>Oolong tea – the most aromatic type:</strong> the post-harvest process of oolong tea is probably the most complex and varied depending on the character desired for the oolong tea. First, the leaves are allowed to wither in the sun for 15-20 minutes, then moved indoors to continue withering on bamboo trays for 5-8 hours – stirring the leaves every two hours for even withering & oxidation. Next, the leaves are shaken in, for example, a bamboo basket or rotating bamboo cylinder – this breaks the cell structure which increases oxidation and draws out flavor and aroma from the leaves. These two steps of breaking and withering the leaves are repeated until the desired oxidation level is reached. When reached, the leaves are heated to "lock in" the flavor and aroma achieved during processing. The oxidation level of different oolong teas varies from 5 to 85%. After this, the tea leaves are kneaded and rolled to form <meta charset="utf-8">small compact "pearls" with intensified flavor and aroma. This also causes the flavor to be released slowly during brewing. Finally, the leaves are dried at about 100ºC to reduce moisture content.</p> <p><strong>Black tea – mild and rounded with low bitterness:</strong> the leaves are allowed to wither for 6-8 hours, then rolled more intensively and for longer periods than compared to other tea types – this is to really break the leaf structure and allow the highest degree of oxidation. During oxidation, among other things, the bitter catechins are converted into milder reddish-brown theaflavins and thearubigins. After rolling, the tea leaves are piled in a humid environment, preferably over 90% humidity – one can use a humidifier or simply a spray bottle for smaller batches. Sometimes a wet towel is even placed over the leaves to really create a moist environment. The moist environment favors enzymatic activity that converts bitter substances into milder reddish-brown substances. It is important, however, that the leaves maintain contact with oxygen, for this the leaves can be aired regularly by turning them in the pile. When the desired oxidation level is reached, the leaves are dried at about 100<meta charset="utf-8">ºC.</p> <p><strong>Dark tea, commonly called Pu'er tea – a traditional & flavorful post-fermented tea stored like wines:</strong> the leaves are allowed to wither for a couple of hours before being heated traditionally in a large wood-fired wok – the temperature must not be too high because in this tea type one wants to retain some enzymatic activity, max 200<meta charset="utf-8">ºC. In this step, the leaves are turned continuously in the pan to achieve an even "kill-green" level. In this step, the senses are used to determine when the desired limit is reached, based on consistency, color, and aroma of the tea leaves. After this, the leaves are rolled to break the cell structure and release flavor and aroma. The next step is to let the leaves dry in the sun for about 1 day. Sun drying has two purposes: partly to ensure the temperature never gets so high that enzymatic activity stops, but also to keep the moisture level in the leaves from becoming as low as it does when heated in an oven – which favors further post-fermentation of the tea. The last step is to press the tea leaves into compact tea cakes – again to maintain an even but low moisture in the leaves which favors post-fermentation. These teas can be stored for over 50 years and they develop in flavor and increase in value the older they get. The process described above is the traditional method for producing dark teas, these teas are called <em><strong>Sheng</strong> <strong>Pu'er</strong></em>. There is also a more modern method where the post-fermentation process is accelerated by piling the tea leaves for up to 2 months in a warm and humid environment, these teas are then called <em>Shou Pu'er.</em></p> <p>All tea types have their health benefits, sometimes different. Research has shown that consuming several different tea types gives greater health benefits than consuming only one type.</p> <p>What we in Sweden call red tea (rooibos) comes from another plant species, the Rooibos bush<span> </span><em>Aspalathus linearis</em><em>.</em></p> <p>Tea leaves are also used in cooking in Asia – for example <em>Tea Leaf Salad</em> (fermented leaves) in Burma and (fresh leaves) in Thailand.</p> <p>It is also possible to extract a useful oil from tea seeds by pressing.</p> <h4><strong>Cultivation:</strong></h4> <p>Growing tea in Sweden is still a new and relatively unestablished phenomenon. We have started establishing a tea plantation next to the Kävlinge River and also one in Marieholm. The plants have overwintered well outdoors provided with straw and jute fabric. What has proven most important here is to protect from direct strong wind during the winter half-year. This is done <meta charset="utf-8">either by placing a jute sack around the plant or by setting up some kind of wind-protective barrier. If you plant your tea plants in a very sheltered location, this is probably not necessary, then it may be enough to cover the ground with straw. Both our tea plantations are located in windy parts of Skåne, zone 1.</p> <p>In spring, however, the plants should be protected from direct sun, like most other evergreen plants – this is because there is a risk that the plant dries out when the water in the ground is frozen and the strong spring sun evaporates the plant’s moisture in the leaves. If the roots have reached a depth where the ground is not frozen, this is not necessary, but it can be good to keep in mind during the first years depending on where in the country you live. Because of the need to cover the plants for protection against early spring sun, I think it is just as well to cover the plants already in winter, so you get double protection from one and the same action. You can either cover each plant with its own jute sack or stretch jute fabric on a few poles over several plants.</p> <p>There is a tea plantation in Gränna, see <span style="color: rgb(78, 153, 29);"><strong><a style="color: rgb(78, 153, 29);" rel="noopener" title="Gretas Tea ~ unique teas" href="https://gretaste.se/" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(64, 64, 64);">Gretas Tea</span></span></a></strong></span>, which has started using our bushes to expand their tea plantation. Gränna lies in growing zone 2, with an even and favourable climate thanks to the adjacent Lake Vättern.</p> <p>There is also a tea plantation on Gotland, but it is unclear if they still grow outdoors.</p> <p><meta charset="utf-8"><meta charset="utf-8">In the pictures above you see the beginning of our tea plantation next to the Kävlinge River – <span class="s1">the pictures were taken after their first overwintering in March 2025. The first winter we covered both with straw, individual jute sacks, and a protective curtain of jute fabric to protect against the worst Skåne winds – which can be quite strong here in our open farmland. However, they were covered as late as mid-January, so they stood completely bare in rushes down to -10ºC and periods of intense Skåne winter winds; for those who do not know, we have little that slows the wind here, so the cold from the pressure becomes quite intense. Next winter I will experiment with removing one layer of protection with new plants, either the individual sacks or the outer wind protection. The point is to make cultivation as simple as possible but at the same time get them to thrive.</span><br></p> <p><meta charset="utf-8"><span>Another small tea plantation is being established in Marieholm at our new Ågården. It is a terrace plantation on a small slope to imitate the way tea is often grown in Asia.</span></p> <p><meta charset="utf-8">The tea bush can thus be grown and overwintered outdoors in Sweden, depending on location and circumstances the plants may need winter covering: e.g. with straw and jute fabric/sack.</p> <p>It is also important to note that tea thrives best in acidic soil, use Rhododendron or Blueberry soil when planting in the ground or in a new pot.</p> <h4><strong>Characteristics:</strong></h4> <p>Longevity: Perennial<br>Light: Sun to partial shade<br>Height: 1-3 meters<br><meta charset="utf-8">Hardiness zone: 1-4, hardy down to -15<meta charset="utf-8">ºC</p>

The Spanish word sazón means "seasoning" or "spice" and is made with ground Annatto seeds. In addition to Annatto, cumin, coriander seeds, salt, and garlic powder are also included in the sazón mixture. In the Spanish-speaking Caribbean islands, the annatto pigment is used to season yellow rice and is sometimes added to sofrito. In the French Caribbean, it is added to a fish or pork stew called <em>blaff</em> .</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">In Brazil, a powder called <em>colorau</em> or <em>colorífico</em> is made from the ground seeds combined with filler seeds such as corn. This powder is similar to and sometimes replaces paprika. In Nicaragua, the most common way to use achiote is in the form of a paste. It is used in many national dishes, such as <em>chancho con yuca</em> , <em>nacatamal</em> , and <em>fritanga</em> .

Overwinter frost-free. </p> <p>Can grow in both moist and dry soils. Thrives surprisingly well in heavy clay soils. For pot cultivation, a humus-rich soil with good drainage should be used. </p> <p>Pinch branches for a bushier growth habit.</p> <p><strong>Sowing:</strong></p> <p>Pre-cultivate indoors early in the year, or sow outdoors in April-May.</p> <p>Soak the seeds for 1 day in advance.

If you want more control over the whole process, Butterfly Pea seeds are easy to germinate on a piece of moist paper. Place the paper in, for example, a food container with the lid slightly ajar – keep moist. Now you can easily see when each seed starts to sprout and gradually pick out seed by seed and sow in a small pot with soil.</p> <p><strong>Characteristics:</strong><br></p> <p>Longevity: Perennial <br>Light: sun <br>Height: 150-300 cm <br>Germination time: 10-20 days</p>
