Superna Tea Company carefully sources its organically grown varieties through tea estates that have completed the USDA certification process.
There are numerous reasons to consume and support organically grown tea products:
Improved Soil Quality - Since toxic synthetic chemicals are not used for growing the tea plants, the eco-system of the tea plant environment improves dramatically. This not only helps the specific tea plant but the entire sub-soil ecosystem.
Improved Environment - Since the soil quality is improved, there is no leaching of chemicals into the water table and the surrounding environment. This helps the local population and also indigenous wildlife.
Safer for Consumption - Clearly the most immediate benefit is that the tea leaves are free from pesticides and safer for human consumption. Though most of the tea estates are run by reputable and responsible owners, only USDA certified estates have grown their tea leaves to the highest standards.
