Organic Tea is grown with organic farming methods, without any chemical pesticides or fertilizers used in cultivation. The soil is enriched with natural compost and a layer of mulch retains the moisture while 2providing extra nutrients as it breaks down.

This growing method is more labor-intensive, but produces superior quality tea. Organic farming methods allow the tea plants to remain healthy for the duration of their lifespan.

In addition to the improved flavor, the organic varieties are also higher in health promoting polyphenols and catechins. These are the antioxidants that provide many of the health benefits that tea is famous for. Scientific studies have shown that these compounds are found in higher concentrations in good quality tea.
