Default Growing Tea Ingredients

I am interested in growing my own ingredients for tea. Does anybody
have any suggestions or know of where to point me for research?

Do you mean just the leaf or the milk and sugar too? All those on the one
property would be a challenge.

The plant is cammelia sinensis. Google that and "cultivation" for a zillion
hits. If all else fails treat it as you would a flowering cammelia for a good
chance of success.

I am wanting a mix .... But I guess my interest is in this order:
1) herbal
2) combination of herbal and green
3) green
I am also not very familiar with black tea. If it would taste better
to have a combination of herbal and black tea then I would be
interested. I am very new to growing tea so I am not really sure.

In that case, for black/green teas, try he
