@tsarstepan,
My dinner, tea, and coffee service is on your link! Strange to see it there. And I'm certainly not the Dowager Countess of a sprawling English estate! Laughing

Britain Grows its Own Tea

Tregothnan Estate, in England’s Southwestern county of Cornwall, is producing the first tea ever to be grown in British soil.

http://www.tealaden.com/teaweb/articles/britain2.jpg

Jonathon Jones, head gardener at Tregothnan, with a new tea shoot from one of the Tregothnan bushes.

Some readers will be surprised to learn that the tea that is now being grown and manufactured on the Tregothnan Estate in Cornwall, is the first tea ever to be produced in Britain. Others may think that tea has always been grown in Britain, and may therefore wonder what the fuss is all about. There are comments that are not unknown, such as: “I always buy Yorkshire tea. It’s so good to think of it growing out there on the moors,” and “I only ever buy good old British tea.” However, these are - of course - totally misguided! There may be a few ornamental tea bushes dotted around certain British gardens, mixed in with the azaleas and rhododendrons, but they have never been plucked, nor added to the supply of tea that is consumed as the ‘national beverage.’ In general, the British climate is not kind to the camellia sinensis plant, making it hard to keep them alive in normal conditions. However, the temperate climes of Cornwall are not so different from those of Darjeeling. In fact, Darjeeling experiences winter minimum temperatures that are a few degrees lower than those of Southwestern England, and the plants are still thriving.

@vonny,
I just looked it up in my Sunset Western Garden book and it says there that it grows in California too, but has never been a major crop for economic reasons.
There are lots of gardens in CA where camellias are grown for their beauty and fragrance, including once in my old yard - but usually they aren't the C. sinensis variety.
