Anybody have any leads on getting tea plants? I've been looking for a while but I haven't had any luck. I'm willing to trade or buy if anyone has one to spare!

I don't have camellia sinensis anymore but I grew some a few years ago. Really easy to start from seeds but not that easy to care afterward. There's usually some seeds available on eBay. Good luck.

I've dealt with floraexotica in the past. No complaints. Camelia sinensis is a popular bonsai subject. Good luck!

Did you ever have any luck with the tea plants? I'm interested in a source also.

Tea plant are relatively easy to grow but the media need to be kept relatively moist (you could end with a drosphyla problem) and the RH not too low. Here, in Winter, electric heater lower the RH below 20% and the leave tips of my plants usually turned brown and crispy. Not really good for brewing tea
