The younger and fresher the better for the leaves, you should be fine about now if you pick the fresh ones, but best in june.
I have a good recipe somewhere, I'll dig it out and gaz it to you.

Churs! Did a quick google.
Does it really need 12 months to mature?
Most mine are drunk within a few months of the yeast being added.

I've heard bad things about tea wines
i'll use tea as a tannin provider though.
lapsang souchong is pretty good for adding a smoky taste.
