Camellia sinensis is a slow-growing, upright evergreen shrub or small tree that typically reaches heights of one to five meters. It features leathery, lance-shaped, dark green leaves with glossy surfaces and finely toothed edges. Renowned as the source of all true teas, its young leaves and buds are harvested for white, green, and black varieties. This versatile plant thrives in acidic, well-drained soil and prefers dappled sunlight or full sun in humid, subtropical conditions.
