Top 7 Organic Tea Health Benefits
What are the benefits of drinking organic green, white, black, herbal or any other tea? And why choose it over a non organic and slightly cheaper counterpart?
Here are the top 7 reasons:
1. Non Organic Tea May Cause Early Death
Do you know what’s inside your tea? It’s a well-known fact many individual farmers in foreign countries are notorious for using chemicals that are banned in the US or even their own countries.
For example, one of the insecticides that many non-organic tea farmers spray is DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane), which was banned in the US more than 70 years ago! It’s a toxic chemical that causes cancer. Unfortunately, some non organic tea farmers still use this chemical and there is no way to tell which ones unless you pay for extensive product examination.

- Add a teaspoon of leaves into your cup of choice and pour the hot water.
- Let it rest for around 1 minute and then keep tasting every 30 seconds to find a taste that you are happy with.

- Best Christmas tea drink ever! And a great gift Review by Emma Brown

I love, love, love cinnamon tea, and I have been searching for YEARS for a really nice one. Most of the store – bought cinnamon teas taste too much like candy or artificial flavoring for my taste, and I wanted something with more body and depth to it.Rating
This tea did the trick! It’s a very complex body with just enough natural sweetness to balance out the spiciness of the cinnamon, and while it is fruity, it definitely doesn’t taste like the same old cheap Christmas teas that come around every holiday season. This one is a definite keeper. (Posted on 9/23/2015) - It's like Big Red Tea! Review by Archie G.

The main reason I bought this tea in the first place was curiosity. Cinnamon oolong tea?! Are you kidding me?! It’s so good though! This tea has just the right balance of spicy cinnamon notes and almost fruity sweetness. It’s a very rich and complex flavor but it works much better than you’d expect. Definitely a different taste from the typical black and green teas, and well worth it if you’re looking to try something new or change up your drinking habits. I totally recommend giving this a shot. It’s really good sweetened with honey and poured over ice, or prepared warm in the wintertime. You can even try mixing it with cider for a delicious hot beverage!
