Only if you have a green house.
Even my yaupon holly, planted against a south facing wall, need to be covered and heavily mulched to survive.
Because the wall they are planted against is part of a heated building they grow but need great care.

MWH; See the previous reply! Additional info.
Growing tea at home.
" Growing a Tea Shrub" "The tea shrub is hardy to Zone 8. The United States is broken up into hardiness zones with similar temperatures and weather patterns. Zone 8 includes the Mid-West and the Southern U.S. states. If you don't live in these areas, don't fret. You could try growing Camellia sinensis in a greenhouse, or in a pot that you can bring indoors during cold winters. "
