The tea plant, Camellia sinensis, can handle a broad range of conditions, but it does best in subtropical climates with ample rainfall during the grow season. It can handle a light frost but not prolonged cold, but it does not require cold or frost: it can also be grown in tropical areas with no frost. It also grows well in seasonal wet-dry tropical areas, such as Kenya and parts of far Southwest China.
In the U.S., the gulf coast, coastal Southeast, and parts of the pacific Northwest are suitable, but not necessarily ideal, for growing tea. Globally, tea producing regions include China, India, Japan, and Taiwan and countries in Africa including Kenya, Tanzania, and Malawi.
Tea tends to do well in tropical regions at high altitudes. In more temperate zones, it must be grown at low altitudes.

What are two differences between a true tea and herbal tea?
True tea is made exclusively from the tea plant (Camellia sinensis).Herbal tea is made from any plant other than Camellia sinensis.---True tea can only be produced in the specific range of climates where the tea plant grows. These climates must have high rainfall and mild winters. The plant does best in subtropical climates with cool but not cold winters, and where the summer is the wet season, although it can be grown somewhat outside these ranges.Herbal teas can be produced virtually anywhere where plants grow, from the tropics to very cold regions. The types of herbs that can be grown vary regionally, but most places where humans live have a climate suitable for growing certain plants for herbal teas.

What problems are associated with growing tea?
The tea plant actually has relatively few problems with pests and dieases. The main issues of concern limiting tea production are fertilizer, water, and temperature. The tea plant is an evergreen plant that invests a considerable amount of nutrients in its leaves, so when its leaves are harvested, it requires fertilization. Chemical fertilizers can be used, but these cause environmental problems, including soil acidification and pollution of aquatic ecosystems downstream. Organic fertilizers, like those used in traditional tea cultivation for hundreds of years, can reduce these issues. The other two limiting factors are water, and cold temperatures. The tea plant requires a fair amount of moisture and rainfall. It grows best in humid climates with high rainfall during the growing season, and it cannot be grown in arid and semiarid regions. The tea plant can be grown in tropical to subtropical climates, and often does best in warm subtropical climates. It can handle a light frost, but extensive cold weather will kill the plant or severely stunt its growth.
