In spring 2011, we receive a package from Japan.
Tea tree seeds!
A Japanese friend who came to visit us in Loustalou remembered having heard us talk about this dream: to grow tea here in Loustalou!
We planted these seeds ...
Six years later, young trees are growing in the orchard,
surrounded by the forest, tall pines, chestnut trees ...
This spring, we have sprouted new plants from the seeds of our trees.
Long live tea in the southwest !
