Re: I'm with you
"When was the last time your neighbor in Blighty offered you a cup of home-fermented tea?"
I'm not a tea drinker, but I do know people who grow their own tea bushes. The UK climate is temperate enough but from what I've been told, you need the right type of soil or know how to make you soil into the right type. (Needs to be acidic I think, I'm sure any decent gardener could manage it.)
