Fields of Dreams


It's amazing that the tea plant, Camellia sinensis, can yield so many different varieties of green and black teas. In that sense, the tea plant is very much like another of the Earth's gifts to humanity -- the wine grape, Vitis vinifera. Variations in climate, soil and elevation yield remarkable differences in the character of the final products, whether we're talking about wine or tea. That's what makes wine and tea each so fascinating! All these fascinating possibilities are what dreams of both wine and tea connoisseurs are made of.
