Question 2

Botanical description

Accepted Answer

Camellia sinensis is native to mainland china, South and  Southeast Asia, but it is today cultivated across the world  in tropical and subtropical regions. It is an evergreen  shrub or small tree that is usually trimmed to below two  meters (six feet) when cultivated for its leaves. It has a  strong taproot. The flowers are yellow –white, 2.5-4 cm  in diameter, with 7 to 8 petals. The leaves are 4-15 cm  long and 2-5 cm broad. The young, light green leaves are  preferably harvested for tea production; they have short  white hairs on the under side. Older leaves are deeper  green. Different leaf ages produce differing tea qualities,  since their chemical compositions are different. Usually  the tip (bud) and the first two to three leaves are  harvested for processing. This hand picking is repeated  every one to two weeks.
