When do tea flowers bloom?
Have you ever seen a tea flower? Tea flowers are white and quite charming. In this article, I’ll discuss when tea flowers bloom and why they are not commonly seen.
Tea flowers bloom around October to November (tea plants are considered a late autumn seasonal word). They are small, modest, and charming flowers that bloom facing downward on the underside of leaves, and, being in the camellia family, they resemble camellias. If you spot white spots scattered in a tea field, they are likely tea flowers.
However, they are rarely seen because tea flowers are said to bloom when the tea plant is weakened, and they are not commonly found in managed tea gardens. Even if they do bloom, they are quickly picked to prevent them from taking nutrients away from the plant. It’s a bit sad that, despite being part of the camellia family, tea flowers don’t get to be the main attraction.
That’s the story of the cute yet somewhat troublesome tea flower for producers.
