Organic tea is grown and processed without pesticides or artificial fertilizers

It is important to consume organic green tea that has been grown in a healthy environment. and is also often Fair Trade. Fair Trade means that you can reap the organic green tea health benefits knowing that small farms are supported, workers on tea plantations are treated fairly, and that both the workers and our environment are not exposed to the harmful chemicals used in conventional tea production. Also, be mindful about lead and fluoride content in some teas. Both green and black teas are naturally high in fluoride because the plant absorbs naturally occurring fluoride from the soil thorough its root system.
Don’t add green tea to boiling water as it can kill helpful catechins. Instead make sure the water is between 160-170 degrees.
Add organic lemon. Vitamin C makes the healthy compounds in green tea easier to absorb. Dairy, on the other hand, may make absorbing the catechins more difficult.
Levels of the healthful compounds in green tea can vary greatly from tea to tea. Organic teas usually have more of the beneficial compounds.
