Wonderful! I have one on my veranda too! In the spring, you will need to wrap your head in a big towel, take off your shoes, and while barefoot pick only the first three leaves on each branch. Let them dry in a warm (not hot) oven for a few hours, then sit over night. The next morning crush them up, pour on the hot (80 degree) water, and enjoy a cup of green tea! If you prefer oolong tea, crush after picking and let sit overnight, THEN dry and drink!

I drink around 2 litres of mixed boiling & cold water a day - can't stand cold water.

There is hope for you yet!
