There are dry Green Tea leafs in Makro of course and Big-C have small selection of Green tea also.

In Buriram, On Soonthornthep road there are few specialized Chinese herbs/products shops, they might have what you are looking for as well so have a look in that area also.
*Drive on Thani road, arriving Bangkok bank, turn left and there are shops on the right side.

I can't give you specific advice without knowing where you live and what your climate is, but the tea plant generally:

(1) It can handle tropical climates, but it likes subtropical climates best, with hot summers and cool winters. It can take a light frost but will die in a heavy frost. Wrap it up if you get frost in your area.

(2) The tea plant doesn't need much in the way of nutrients. It can handle poor soil. But it generally needs the soil to be well-drained. It needs more nutrients (add compost to the soil) once you start harvesting the leaves regularly.

(3) Tea plants love humidity. If you are in a dry climate, you will need to water them frequently. Naturally, tea plants handle drought better in the winter, but they can grow in places with a seasonal wet-dry cycle.

(4) Tea plants are actually not picky about sun or shade. They can grow in full sun, and they can also grow in fairly dense shade. If you are in a very hot, dry climate, plant it in the shade. If you are in a cold climate, plant it in a sheltered location, up against a building where it is protected from wind and will get heat from the building in the winter.

All good info and points related, Ludlow.

Tea, like coffe, usually will only do well at equatorial higher elevations.
Not a good comparison...but the two have another thing in common: they both will take on the character of the local sub-soil and sub-climate. That's why you'll find such a truly wide variety of these fragrant elixirs.
