p.s. It occurred to me after writing the above comment that it should be possible to grow tea in the British Isles and I now learn that there is a plantation in Cornwall which has been producing since 2005. [1] It's a wonder that tea cultivation wasn't attempted in Georgian England when prices were so high, seeing as they went to so much trouble establishing plantations in far-away Assam. Anyway, it's good to know that tea is now being grown in Britain.
