Camellia japonica 'Tama Vino'
Tama Vino Camellia blooms pop with color that are deep wine red in the center and outlined with a crisp white edge. Gives landscapes year round interest with its lively, eye-popping blooms and its rich, glossy green foliage. As it's flowers age, the color deepens to a dark red and eventually pinkish. All in all very fun to watch during bloom. Tama Vino grows to be a little shorter than Tama Electra.

There are resources available online for the hobbyist and production-minded tea makers alike. Research, experiment, process and use at your own risk.
