Organic Tea

Whether you like black tea, green tea, red tea or white tea, there is a tea colour for any mood. Drunk first thing in the morning, throughout the day or before bedtime, there is a tea for every moment and to suit every taste.

Tea can be soothing, comforting, invigorating and restorative, not only does it help to improve our mood, but it also has a vast range of health benefits too. It is no wonder that tea is the super-drink, being the second most popular drink consumed world over, after your standard glass of water.

While tea is a drink we can enjoy many advantages from, did you know that by swapping your regular tea to organic varieties, you could enjoy even more benefits?

Below we list five reasons why we only supply organic tea.

Better flavours

When the plants and tea are grown organically, no artificial chemicals are used in the process either to ward off bugs or to help the growing process. Instead, farmers will either leave nature to do its work or perhaps enhance plants with natural fertilisers. Not using artificial chemicals ensures the leaves of the tea, and the herbs and plants used stay pure, allowing natural flavours to shine through.

By opting for organic tea, you can experience all of the delicate flavours from each and every leaf, especially if you choose loose leaf tea. With tea that isn’t organic, you will find the chemicals can impact the flavour of tea as they are often sprayed and dried onto the tea leaves as well as making their way into the plant through the roots.

For the most enjoyable tea, whether you like black tea, green tea or any teas in between organic tea keeps the taste without any masking or overpowering chemical flavour.

Higher levels of nutrition

Many studies are being undertaken into the benefits of organic tea, and from the studies, it is believed that organic teas have a higher concentration of nutrients. Tea, in general, is well known for its nutritional properties and has high levels of vitamins and minerals.

With organic tea, you can enjoy higher levels of nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, E, and K as well as minerals such as potassium, calcium and flavonoids. So, it is easy to enjoy great nutritional benefits all while enjoying your favourite cuppa.

Anti-ageing properties

As well as organic tea being full of vitamins and minerals; it is also full of antioxidants. It is believed that organic, natural tea offers higher levels of antioxidants compared to regular tea which means your body can fight more free radicals in your system. It is the free radicals that can cause premature ageing, so by boosting your antioxidant intake through drinking organic tea; you can keep yourself young. Antioxidants are also great for your immune system, keeping you fighting fit and deterring illness.

Health properties

Not only is organic tea full of antioxidants and vitamins, but the compounds found in the drink can also help to improve certain health conditions. In fact, studies suggest that tea can help to reduce your risk of heart disease, particularly organic green tea. There is also evidence that tea can contribute to preventing diabetes as well as preventing cataracts, which are often a complication of diabetes.

Tea can also help you to have stronger teeth and a healthier mouth thanks to its fluoride content.

Respect your body and the environment

When you buy tea that is organic, you can trust in the farmers and the manufacturers that your tea is free from harmful chemicals. There will be no synthetics or toxic byproducts in your tea, but make sure to look for tea that is certified organic so you can be sure of its quality throughout the whole process.

With organic tea, you can be sure that your cup of tea is completely natural, with no nasties entering your system. You can also be sure that nature is looked after too, with no damaging pesticides ruining the soil or harming the wildlife. Fertilisers can cause issues such as algae bloom in the water which uses up a high level of oxygen in water bodies which can cause harm to aquatic animals, by opting for organic varieties you can help to keep the environment happy and healthy.
