I saw a piece last night on the extended growing season in Britain due
to global warming which allow grapes and olives to flourish. Also tea
trees have adapted to the new climate. It doesn't look like a row
plantation but groves of bushes maybe chest high. Has anyone tried a
cuppa of tea grown in Britain?

This is the only homegrown British tea I'm aware of, but perhaps there are others. I've never tried it.

Yes, the English grown tea from Cornwall - Tregothnan Tea - though
expensive is an excellent cup reminiscent of Darjeeling. Before I tried
some I was sceptical that the English climate could produce an
acceptable tea - but happy to be proved wrong.
