Default Is the UK humid?

I have done some searching on Google, and people say it is. The reason
why I'm asking is because I have had a Camellia Sinensis and Coffea
Arabica for a couple of months now, and they are growing. The only
problem I had was when I left the Camellia Sinensis next to a window.

Apparently they need high humidity and it's best to spray them every
day, but I have become lazy with this and spray them once-twice a week.
They are growing just as well.


I was wondering if we have the correct humidity for growing them, and
whether this would affect the humidity inside your house. I have
recently moved them to the kitchen, close to the sink, assuming this
would give a higher humidity.

Thank you.

Outside we are quite humid but most houses are designed to be drier on the
inside!
