Did you know that all tea-growing countries have got pesticides in their tea EXCEPT Turkey and Georgia? Yes, it is true. But why? As you know, most other tea-growing countries are in tropical areas. In these areas there is very little snow and no winter.

Many bacteria, fungi, and insects thrive in tropical areas. How are they destroyed? The only solution is...they are using pesticides against them. They have no choice...

The tea consumer who cares about his or her health DOES have a choice. This choice is provided by Turkish and Georgian tea farmers. Their farms are in a subtropical area, where the temperature can fall below zero degrees and snow does fall. Bacteria, fungi, and insects can not live in such conditions.
