Fukien Tea is a popular tropical species for bonsai. It is said that the name "tea" is attributed to the fact that its leaves can be used as a substitute for tea. The dark green, shiny leaves can easily be reduced. The leaves, when mature, feature very faint white dots. It produces small white flowers and the miniature version (not this one) produces small red berries.
