I apologize in advance but this giveaway is only for the locals.
Last fall Wade of Rockridge Orchards was kind enough to let me sample some of the tea he grows – in green, black and oolong form. And while my dandelion coffee experiment was something I’ll likely never repeat, this tea tastes like, well, tea.
This spring I got one for my garden and it’s doing great so I can now heartily recommend growing your own tea. Not only am I recommending it, I have a plant and a sleek black tea pot from Mountain Rose Herbs to give to you. You’ll also get instructions on how to dry your own green, black or oolong tea.
Don’t despair – even if you aren’t local or don’t win this giveaway you can still get your own tea plant. Both www.RaintreeNursery and www.OneGreenWorld.com carry them. Just look for Camellias Sinensis.
To win this giveaway simply submit a comment by midnight Sunday, June 20 and next Monday, June 21 I will announce the random winner using www.Random.org.
Sorry everyone – I ran random.org one last time and the tea plant now has a new home. You can all order one from http://www.raintreenursery.com or buy one from Rockridge Orchard though!
