ORGANIC TEA

WHAT IS ORGANIC TEA?

Organic Teas use no chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or chemical fertilizers, to grow or process the tea after it is harvested. Instead, farmers use natural processes to create a sustainable tea crop, like the solar-powered or sticky bug catchers pictured below. Fraser Tea wants this purity to show in every delicious cup -- a tea you can feel good about drinking.

Health Benefits of Organic Tea

Tea is the most popular beverage in the world, after water. Maybe you drink tea because you love the taste, the aroma, the health benefits or even just the feel-good vibes after that first sip of the day. We love drinking organic green tea because it can help strengthen our immunity and neutralize free radicals.

Did you know that chemicals like pesticides and herbicides can have high levels of toxic metals?

These very same chemicals may be used in the growing of conventional non-organic tea.  According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), the toxicity of these heavy metals has been linked to cancer, insulin resistance, degeneration of the nervous system, and many immunity health issues. We don’t know about you, but we do not need any heavy metals, chemicals, or anything we cannot pronounce in our teacup.

Better for the Environment

Organic Tea Farming is sustainable and does not rely on non-renewal energies.  It also keeps nearby water supplies clean and free of toxic run-off from chemicals. Farming the organic way uses natural strategies like crop rotation and composting to keep the soil rich and fertile and promote plant biodiversity.

Protects Wildlife

If these toxic pesticides, fungicides, and other chemicals leach out into the environment, the local wildlife is then exposed, becoming sick and are unable to survive.
