Theaceae (/θiˈeɪsii/), the tea family, is a family of flowering plants comprising shrubs and trees, including the economically important tea plant, and the ornamental camellias. It can be described as having from seven to 40 genera, depending on the source and the method of circumscription used. The family Ternstroemiaceae has been included within Theaceae;[3][4] however, the APG III system of 2009 places it instead in Pentaphylacaceae.[5] Most but not all species are native to China and East Asia.
