Can I grow my own black tea plants?

Question

You know, like Tetley, Lipton, Luzianne, Red Rose,
regular black or orange pekoe tea???
What's the name of the plant?
Nobody has it. Where can I get it in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale?
What conditions does the plant like?
Do I have to cure the leaves before drinking?

Thanks so far,
Does anyone know how to ferment the green leaves to make black tea?

Answer 1

sure you can. Look at this website: http://www.greenteaplants.com/

They are in Florida. Black tea is just fermented green tea.

Answer 2

Green tea is simply dried tea leafs, black and other teas process the leaves. The plant is somewhat tropical so you are in the right location, try to Google "purchase tea plants" and see what you get.
