On our website, we mention the fact that every ingredient in our tea is #pesticidefree because it is hand picked in the wild meadows of Siberia.
However, we seem to lack the explanation behind it, so the main question appears to remain the same:
Which tea contains the pesticides then?
Why should we bother about it?
or some people may say,
I don't drink black or green tea that contains the most pesticides, only herbal, surely herbal tea is clean?
Unfortunately not. (source)
Herbs like spearmint or peppermint are allowed 100 times higher the levels of glyphosate than some GM foods;
Problem: The first time pesticides are washed off of these herbs is often in your cup.
The Spokesman of Tea Association in the USA have tried to prevent a national outrage and made a public statement that even though there are pesticides, they are present in “a very low amount.” However, a recent report from Greenpeace taking samples of popular tea brands say that it is far from the truth.
In 49 Indian tea samples tested, nearly 60 percent contained at least one pesticide above the safety limits set by the European Union.
China’s teas weren’t any better with nearly 67 percent of samples (18 total) containing pesticides that were previously banned under the Stockholm Convention.
As we have already stated on our Instagram, the most tea covered in pesticides comes from China and India. Why? Because, well-known brands take advantage of China’s loose pesticide control and use it to purchase tea at the low cost.
Solution: purchase only organic or wild.
However, the tea is one thing, today you can easily find a wide variety of organic teas. However, here comes a second issue: tea bags.
Have you ever though about why tea bags are white?
Or why the office paper is white?
If its made of wood, then why is it not brown?
Manufacturers use bleaching agents to get these tea bags nice and white. Bleach contains fluoride which is poisonous to human.
Here is the evidence:
A study analyzed inexpensive tea bags from supermarkets including Asda, Sainsbury’s and Tesco.
Found that drinking the tea would push a person’s fluoride intake
over the ‘daily recommended level’, and put them at a higher risk of bone and dental disease. (source)
Solution:
1. Use loose herbs instead.
2. Purchase tea in unbleached tea bags.
The best way to get yourself detoxed from these nasty chemicals is to simply stop drinking non-organic teas as well as ensuring you never buy teas in white (bleached) tea bags.
You can also speed up the detox process and ensure that every single toxin comes out of your body by just simply drinking our Herbtox tisane.
It is multifunctional herbal tea that helps speed up the process of detoxification in your body. Wild-harvested in Siberia by herbalists.
