The tea bush contains caffeine (also called theine) which stimulates energy levels as well as \u003cem\u003etheanine\u003c\/em\u003e (L-theanine) which provides a calming, slightly euphoric, focusing effect - unlike the coffee bush which is more focused \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003esolely on the stimulating properties of caffeine. A cup of tea can thus be both stimulating and calming at the same time - it is a kind of balance between them that can be described as giving a very clear focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is mainly leaf buds and leaves that are picked to brew tea, sometimes the flowers are also used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 cultivation began to migrate to more northern provinces in China, where new varieties developed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIn its natural environment, the tea bush, or tea tree, grows at high altitudes where it can get very cold at night, and where it can also be cold during the day, with seasons and periods of snow just like 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 for extended periods. Thanks to a couple of projects in Europe, varieties have also been developed with particularly good hardiness to suit cultivation in our climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComparison between tea and coffee - consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea is a very suitable drink to consume while doing mentally demanding work thanks to its focus-inducing properties, unlike coffee which can give a slightly more restless feeling. Tea provides a more long-lasting energy level without a noticeable dip - coffee gives a strong burst of energy followed by a drop. Tea is not as taxing 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 is well suited 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 sufficient and that the energy also lasts longer. However, you cannot deny that coffee is very tasty, and as an emergency solution when the body really needs a strong energy boost, coffee is very useful. Tea, however, is also an incredibly delicious drink, and above all diverse when it comes to flavor: everything from umami-flavored Sencha teas, to aromatic and full-bodied Oolong teas, to intense and flavorful Pu'erh teas. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 6 different tea varieties:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll genuine tea varieties come from the species Camellia sinensis. From this bush (or tree) you can make: green, white, yellow, oolong, black, and \"dark\" (also called \u003cem\u003ePu'ehr\u003c\/em\u003e) tea. The difference between them is their different fermentation and oxidation levels. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBelow is a brief description of the process for the different tea varieties:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreen tea - the freshest \u0026amp; greenest variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e the leaves are heated at 220\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eºC immediately after harvest to stop the oxidation process and thereby \"lock in\" the flavor and color achieved in the cultivation process. Then the leaves are rolled to break the leaf structure so that nutrients and flavor are released more easily during brewing. Brewing temp: 80-85ºC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhite tea - the least processed variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e the leaves are allowed to wither in the sun for 2-3 days immediately after harvest. This triggers a series of different stress responses in the leaves resulting in flavors such as sweetness and fruitiness developing. 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. A bit like wines. No breaking of the leaf structure occurs. Therefore, a higher brewing temperature of 95ºC is necessary to get a full extraction of the tea's flavor compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYellow tea - fresh \u0026amp; green with a rounded flavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e the post-harvest process is similar to green tea. The leaves are heated immediately after harvest but at a slightly lower temperature of 200\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eºC to retain some enzymatic activity. The leaves are rolled to break the leaf structure \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eso that nutrients and flavor are released more easily during brewing. After this, the leaves are gathered in a pile to \"yellow,\" in this step 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 characteristics and reduces bitterness. This step lasts 6-8 hours. After this, the leaves are dried to reduce the moisture level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOolong tea - the most aromatic variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e the post-harvest process of oolong tea is probably the most complex and varied depending on the character you want the oolong tea to have. First, the leaves are allowed to wither in the sun for 15-20 minutes, then they are moved indoors to continue withering on bamboo trays for 5-8 hours - every other hour the leaves are stirred for an even withering \u0026amp; oxidation level. In the next step, the leaves are shaken in, for example, a bamboo basket or rotating bamboo cylinder - this breaks the cell structure which increases the oxidation level and draws out the 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 it is reached, the leaves are heated to \"lock in\" the flavor and aroma achieved in the processing. The oxidation level of different oolong teas varies from 5 to 85%. After this, the tea leaves are kneaded and rolled to form \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003esmall 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 the moisture level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack tea - mild and rounded with low bitterness:\u003c\/strong\u003e the leaves are allowed to wither for 6-8 hours, then the leaves are rolled more intensively and for longer periods compared to other tea varieties - this is to really break the leaf structure and enable the highest degree of oxidation. In the oxidation process, 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 on top of the leaves to really create a humid environment. The humid environment promotes the enzymatic activity that converts bitter substances into milder reddish-brown substances. However, it is important that the leaves maintain contact with oxygen, for this one can occasionally air the leaves by turning them over in the pile. When the desired oxidation level is reached, the leaves are dried at about 100\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eºC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDark tea, commonly called Pu'er tea - a traditional \u0026 flavorful post-fermented tea that is aged like wines:\u003c\/strong\u003e the leaves are allowed to wither for a couple of hours before being traditionally heated in a large wood-fired wok pan - the temperature must not be too high because in this tea variety one wants to retain some enzymatic activity, max 200\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eºC. In this step, the leaves are turned over in the pan in a continuous rhythm to achieve an even \"kill-green\" degree. In this step, one uses their senses to determine when the desired limit is reached, based on, among other things, the 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 outside in the sun for about 1 day. Sun drying has two purposes: partly to ensure the temperature never gets so high that it stops the enzymatic activity, but also to ensure the moisture level in the leaves never gets as low as it does when heated in an oven - which benefits the further post-fermentation of the tea. The final step is to press the tea leaves into compact tea cakes - again to maintain an even but low moisture content in the leaves, which benefits the 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 \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSheng\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePu'er\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. There is also a more modern method where one \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eaccelerates the post-fermentation process by piling the tea leaves for up to 2 months in a warm and humid environment; these teas are then called \u003cem\u003eShou Pu'er.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll types of tea have their health benefits, sometimes different. Research has shown that consumption of several different types of tea provides greater health benefits than consumption of only one type. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat we in Sweden call red tea (rooibos) comes from another plant species, the Rooibos bush\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAspalathus linearis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea leaves are also used in cooking in Asia - for example \u003cem\u003eTea Leaf Salad\u003c\/em\u003e (fermented leaves) in Burma and (fresh leaves) in Thailand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also extract a useful oil from the tea seeds by pressing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing 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 for us is to protect from direct strong wind during the winter half-year. This is done by \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eeither put 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 of our tea plantations are located in windy parts of Skåne, zone 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn spring, however, one should protect the plants from direct sunlight, like most other evergreen plants - this is because there is a risk that the plant dries out when the water in the soil is frozen and the strong spring sun evaporates the plant's moisture in the leaves. If the roots have reached a depth where the soil 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. Due to the necessity of covering 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 couple of poles over several plants. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a tea cultivation in Gränna, see \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(78, 153, 29);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gretaste.se\/\" title=\"Gretas Te ~ unika teer\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(78, 153, 29);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003eGretas Te\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, which has started using our bushes to expand their tea cultivation.

For 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.
