🔍 Before you brew your next pot of tea, flip the packet over.
🍵 Is your "natural" brew actually certified organic? You might be surprised by what is sitting on the shelves.
In the UK, "Organic" is a legally protected term, but many sellers exploit major grey areas. A common trick is buying bulk organic tea, repacking it in an uninspected space without an organic license, and labelling it "organic" under their brand.
Without a licensed packing facility, there is no audit trail, no independent inspection, and zero protection against synthetic chemical residues. Remember: tea leaves are never washed before reaching your pot, meaning boiling water extracts whatever is on the leaf straight into your cup. 🍃
