Organic tea is a healthier choice for daily lifestyle. Dr A Sarkar, President of Gourmet Services, SastaSundar.com pens down in details what is the difference between organic and inorganic tea and why one should opt for organic tea.
Non Organic tea or regular tea available in the market, is grown with the usinge of toxic chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, chemical and artificial fertilizers in order to yield in huge quantities and in pest free conditions. Residues of such chemicals are directly sprayed on the leaves and traces of it still remains even after thorough washing during production, which is highly water soluble in nature. While we prepare tea, these leaves are soaked in hot water/milk in order to get the flavor. We consume tea with these traces of pesticides, chemical or artificial fertilizers all mixed in our favourite beverage, which later manifold detrimental side effects in human body such as neurological disease, cancer, chronic illness like diabetes etc. instead of a fit and healthy body.
