Interesting video. I have grown Crinums most of my life, older now, and I have found Crinum bulbispermum to be hardy in my zone 5 climate of western north carolina. I think what you have as Crinum bulbispermum might be a hybrid. Mine sets seeds for me. The seedlings don’t survive the winters. I have to grow them in pots and store in basement. Once larger they always survive the winters. I have found that when larger the plants pull the bulbs deeper in the soil and then they are able to survive the freezing soil. The top parts of the bulbs can be damaged in severe winters but recover and bloom the following season. I have planted hundreds of varieties with only a few of my hybrids surviving the zone 5 winters. Anyway, it is good to see others growing Crinums. I spent decades hybriding them in Florida, before moving to the mountains. Roy

Just to clarify the processing: - White tea/green tea is directly pan fried (China)/steamed (Japan) after harvesting. So the enzymes which make the tea oxidise are destroyed. The difference between white and green tea is, that white tea usually are only leaf buds (silver needle tea) or leaf buds with one, maximum two small leafs (white peony). The leaf buds have whiteish hairs, hence the denotation white. Green tea is processing wise the same as stated above (there are different techniques of "rolling" the tea though, some dont even get rolled at all (for example lung ching)), but its usually the first 2-5 (open) leafs of the plant. - Black tea (in China: red tea) is fully oxidized (aka withered) tea, it usually gets broken up a bit/rolled after harvesting so the oxidation process is quicker and more even. This is a bit harder to do since you dont want the tea to go moldy. - Oolong tea is an inbetween tea, it is partly oxidized, from a few hours up to several days and only then gets heated up (usually fried), its the kind of tea you did in the video. Since you have some margin for the time and the processing (you could roll the leafs for example) you can have very different results which makes Oolong tea one of the most diverse. - Pu Erh tea (black tea in China) is fully oxidized plus fermented tea. This is done by pressing the tea leafs into "cakes" and letting them first wither, then ferment in very special and stable temperature/humidity conditions, aka letting it ripe, this can take from months to years even. An interesting fact is, that for most teas the tea plants are pruned back regularly so you get compact bushes whereas for Pu Erh tea they usually use fully grown tea "trees" which can become rather old. They also use older and bigger leafs for that one, not only the tips. So really, you cant go wrong unless you burn it while drying or letting it go moldy. There are countless ways to make your very own delicious tea. Also a tip for brewing: a rule of thumb is to brew apx 12g/litre for 2 minutes but more important is the temperature: you dont want to brew green or white tea with boiling water. Usually you take 60-80 C for green tea (a safe place to start always seems at like 70C), for white tea you can go more like 70-80 C. Oolong typically would be 80-95 C whereas Black tea and Pu Erh for the most part is recommended to be brewed with 100 C. You really can tell if you brewed it too hot if it tastes bitter; no tea ever should taste bitter, not even green tea, it just is brewed way too hot oftenly! Normally tea tastes floral sweet and earthy, sometimes malty and vegetal. Anyways, you got this! ;) Hope I could clarify a bit. Cheers!

@@agoranoX Yep you definitely can! The difference is mostly in taste. When it comes to health benefits white and green teas (also fresh tea leafs) are the most healthy, followed by oolong. Black tea is not as healthy as the before mentioned (although its definitely not unhealthy) it just loses many of the really healthy ingredients when withering fully. But obv it got another kind of taste than the other teas and is the longest lasting when it comes to storing (except for Pu Erh) so its a very common type of tea. Also, fresh tea cannot really be packed and stored for a long time, usually tea gets harvested in spring/early summer so you wouldnt be able to drink it in the rest of the year if youd only use fresh tea thats why its not a thing commercially. But even tea farmers rarely dring fresh tea, the steaming (Japan) or Roasting (China) adds its own flavours to the tea which alters the taste quite a bit. And remember: young tea leafs have a different tast than older ones, young ones are more fresh and sweet/vegetal and have more caffeine whereas older leafs are less aromatic (a bit more "flat" in taste) but have way less caffeine. But again -- you cant really do much wrong it mostly comes down to culture and taste really. There is even a kind of tea which only consists of the stems and leaf ribs (Kukicha).

There is a grain variety of Huauzontle called Chia Roja "Red Chia" The seeds are all red and can be used like quinoa with less prep. It's rather hard to find online and is declining in people growing it. Luckily I found someone on Instagram who collected seeds for this variety. Maybe it can make a come back.

I process my green tea from the mature leaves. I pick and allow them to wilt for an hour. I use a dry wok to roast the leaves. After cooling, I pulse the tea in a food processor. It’s ready to use. The tea has a wonderful fresh, grassy flavor. It’s the best green tea I’ve ever had. Totally worth it !

Unless you do the kill green phase early it's not a green tea - this tea was left and some leaves have oxidised so you could argue it more a white tea but it doesn't quite fit any catagory

They do not overwinter in our area (Ohio River Valley 6a/b (Cincinnati-ish)) ... at least not invasively. In a mold winter with no long-term hard freeze -which happens here once in a while - you'll get onsie-twosie per hundred or so to survive over Winter.

Yes, they can be planted out the following year after being dried. I would typically soak in water until they swell and then plant. In my climate the cultivated form isn’t cold Hardy and doesn’t overwinter so they can’t be stored in the ground.
