<p data-mce-fragment="1">Tea is consumed worldwide as the second most common beverage after water. The tea bush contains theine, which counteracts fatigue, and <em>theanine</em> , which provides a calming effect, unlike coffee, which only has the invigorating properties of caffeine (=theine). A cup of tea can therefore be invigorating and calming at the same time.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">It is mainly leaf buds and young leaves that are picked to brew tea with, but sometimes the flowers are also used. The younger the shoots/leafs, the higher quality tea.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">From the tea bush Camellia sinensis, you can make different types of tea: white, yellow, green, blue (oolong), black and "dark" tea. The difference between them is defined by different fermentation and oxidation processes. White tea is not even allowed to oxidize, while "dark" tea is allowed to both oxidize and ferment for long periods. The types in between are gradually more or less in one direction or the other, in the order stated. All types have their health benefits, sometimes differing.</p>

<p data-mce-fragment="1">The tea leaves are also used for cooking in Asia - for example Tea Lead Salad (fermented leaves) in Burma and (fresh leaves) in Thailand.</p>
<h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Cultivation:</strong></h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><meta charset="utf-8">The exact origin of the Tea bush is debated, although it has been pinned down that it originates from an area south-east of the Tibetan plateau: between China, Thailand, Myanmar (Burma) and north-east India.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The Tea bush was first cultivated in ancient China and not introduced to Europe until the 17th century - only to be spread by colonialists for cultivation in India, Africa and Indonesia. </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The first sights of an established plantation in Europe was not until the late 19th century - in the Azores islands of Portugal. Shortly after emerges cultivations in Georgia, Turkey and Russia which still to this day are the largest tea producers in Europe.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">A southern European climate can be a great match for growing tea, especially on locations with a slightly humid, subtropical and hilly environment with mild winters and long summers. Similar to that of Georgias hillside tea plantations, for example. </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Northern Europe has its fair share of successful tea plantations as well, maybe with UK Tregothnan as one of the first. Recent years has seen an increase in northern European tea cultivations, ranging from Belgium all the way up to Sweden. And they are operating well. What this tells us is that cultivating tea is actually possible in most parts of Europe, just spend a bit of your power of thought to find (or create) the right spot.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The tea bush naturally grows at high altitudes where it gets colder at night, and it may also be chilly during daytime. It prefers a location sheltered from wind, as it slows down leaf growth. It does not like to grow in shade however, the optimal location is an environment with lots of light.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">It prefers a well-drained soil - not a permanently moist soil, neither a drought susceptible soil. In optimal conditions the water just <em>flushes through</em> regularly, leaving the soil free to dry up in between flushes. </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><meta charset="utf-8">Reading the above preferations, you may start to realize why a sloping hillside environment is the natural environment of the tea bush. A hillside climate is not a must though, many of the successful European cultivations are grown on plain land. Just try to mimic the preferred conditions as much as you can, with whatever means you have available to the degree that you can. </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">The tea bush can be overwintered outdoors in most of Europe, depending on location and conditions the plants may need to be covered during wintertime - e.g. straw, bark or similar.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Tea thrives in acidic soil, use Rhododendron soil when repotting the plant the first time.</p>
<h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Sowing:</strong><strong></strong></h4>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">Before sowing the seeds, soak them in water for 1 day (put something on top to press down the seeds in case they float). Then put the seeds on a piece of damp paper, put the paper with the seeds inside a sealed plastic bag in room temperature for a day. Then, sow in a pot and cover with 1-2 cm of soil. If germination has not occurred within a month, <meta charset="utf-8">place the pot with the seeds in the refrigerator for about 1 month. Then take it out and let germinate.</p>

<p>'Tearoma®' is a tea variety bred in Switzerland for its good hardiness and ability to be grown outdoors all year round in our climate.

Seeds from unusual and ancient cultivated plants are found here. Many of the plants have long been used by man for their useful properties - it may be about edibles as well as medicinal and household properties.
All seed varieties in the store contribute to a functional addition to the cultivation. Our seeds consist of open-pollinated and hand-pollinated heirloom varieties, we believe that a genetic diversity in the garden contributes to a healthier ecosystem that extends beyond the borders of our cultivations.
Plants are divided based on their different functions and characteristics - e.g. "Fruits & Berries" and "Medicinal plants" - via the filtering function on the right (below on mobile).
Plant history and cultivation description are available for all seeds.
NOTE. More unusual varieties are on the way!
Here you will find both super beautiful shoe models that are created specifically for gardening time and also other models that are well suited for different occasions in the garden. After our own search for good gardening shoes, we found the brand Rouchette, where we especially came to love their ankle boots insulated with neoprene. for the warmth and comfort they provide.
They have also designed a practical sole where no soil gets stuck and is taken into the home - the Frotte&Go system, exclusively developed and used by Rouchette. Rouchette is a family business from France for which we have become a dealer for good reason.
Without exaggeration, these are the most comfortable and practical boots we have ever had. That's where the idea came from to share their usefulness with other growers. The ankle boots are also great for the stable.
You can use the filter function below on the left to easily find the shoes you are looking for.
Here you will find books related to sustainable farming, food forest gardening, agroecology and other interesting knowledge about plants and their useful properties.
Take a look at PFAF's (Plants For A Future) book series - we have recently included all of their books in our range as we consider them to be a valuable source of useful plants for temperate gardens/cultivations.
