  • Sure, we'll just go to the secret Northeast Banana Orchard...

    I'm off today, but a CW just texted me this:

    A customer wanted to know if we had local bananas.

    ...now I know it's been a bit tropical climate-wise as of late, but really?

        I know I am in southern Ontario, dear customer, but it is still NOWHERE near the climate that tea needs.

          I also get asked with some regularity where our Italian coffee beans (as in actually grown in Italy) are

          There probably are some microclimates in the far south that may be able to support very small-scale grows, but...it wouldn't be worth the effort.

                  In a way that makes sense. I drink plenty of 'English' and 'Irish' breakfast tea, but that is in the context of where the blend was first sold at, and not where it was grown.

                      But camellia, the tea bush is able t be grown in much of the US .... my grandmother even had a couple in her decorative formal garden. DOn't think she ever tried making tea leaves, but the process is not over difficult for green tea it is simply drying it, black tea takes some controlled fermentation.

                              Whereabouts in the U.S. did your grandmother live?

                              It would probably be possible to grow the plants in southern Ontario ... especially at the Windsor-Detroit border ... but I don't know if it would be possible to make a living at it.

                              Places like London, ON, are known to be in the "snow belt" ... not sure how that would work with the plants.
