You talking just green tea? I've grown plenty of herb gardens and used the dried herbs for teas.

Very simple, and fresh herbs from your own garden are always much more rewarding than buying something from a store. In fact, it makes me feel a bit of a cheater to put one of those little tea packets down into a cup of hot water...

I just read that link devknob posted & I would start them now indoors & put them outdoors in spring. That link has some nice info.

I get most of my herb supplies and seeds from Mountain Rose Herbs.

They've always treated me right. Good germination rate, and they provide great info on all of the herbs and seeds that they sell.

One of my personal favorites is a simple chamomile tea before bed. Great tea for those nights when you cant get your head to calm down, and fresh chamomile is so much more tasteful when its not in one of those little Lipton tea bags.

Yea, I grow tea. Its a pain in the ass sometimes. It thrives like a weed. I planted it 5 years ago...now it has spread all over my yard.
