Important Note

Hessian for illustration purposes only. All tea plants are shipped in a special recycled plastic clam case for maximum protection, within a cardboard box.

Here’s a special offer for any keen tea lover – the opportunity to grow your own tea at home.

All tea is made from the dried, processed leaves and buds of the Camellia Sinensis bush and Tregothnan is pleased to offer you the opportunity to buy the same plants as we use to grow our own tea on the estate in Cornwall.

The tea-producing bush has dark green, thick leaves and produces delicate white blossoms. The finest tea is made from the top two leaves and bud of each of the plant’s shoot. Using other plucked leaves from the sprig will produce a stronger, tasting brew.

Next working day delivery and UK shipping only. Despatched between Mondays and Thursdays only.

Tea Bush Size Guide

Tea bushes supplied are around 20-30cms tall and around three years old. This tea bush is supplied with detailed care notes and information about the journey ‘from bush to cup’.

Picking the finest tea

The finest tea is made from the top two leaves and bud of each of the plant’s shoots. Using other plucked leaves from the sprig will produce a stronger tasting brew.

Unlike tea bushes supplied as seedlings, this plant has been nurtured from a cutting and will happily grow in the correct conditions. ’.

Your plant should reward you with years of pleasure, but Tregothnan cannot accept responsibility for the plants once they enter your care. We look forward to assisting you with any future requirements.

About us

Rare plants have been nurtured by the same family at Tregothnan since 1334. The first tea was grown in the UK in 1999 to put the ‘English into English Tea’ and the most British tea in history was first sold in 2005.

Now, over 26 miles of tea bushes thrive in the unique microclimate, seven miles inland and with a deep-sea creek bringing regular fog. Manuka bushes have also thrived here since the 1880’s, the first grown outside of New Zealand and producing the most delicious honey.
