Due to its numerous benefits, tea drinking has an extensive history and cultural background. Ever since it became a daily habit in the 3rd century CE, tea consumption led to the spread of tea gardening. Historical evidence shows that the plant used for tea was grown for medicinal purposes long before tea cultivation laid the foundation for use in modern medicine. The traditional methods of preparing healing drinks from these plants have survived largely unaltered - and for a good reason. As you'll learn from this guidebook, cultivating herbs for tea is one of the most straightforward ways to acquire some good gardening skills.
