Forte Tea For Good Health


When questioning the quality of existing conventional teas produced with the aid of destructive synthetic chemicals there is much to consider. These chemicals devastate not only the soil used to cultivate tea (and any other food), but they systematically destroy the surrounding ecosystem and the health of the very people who farm the land.

It remains the goal of quality tea growers to raise awareness across an industry dominated by conventionally cultivated tea to the benefits of sourcing organic teas.  Consumers need to look for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic seal to ensure that their tea was grown and processed according to the National Organic Standards as Tea Forte is.  Here are a few reasons why:

We can expect Improved soil fertility

Toxic chemicals are bypassed, freeing soil from exposure to harmful herbicides and pesticides. The workers instead rely on substances such as compost, natural organic matter, and plants to provide the necessary ground cover and nutrients. Weeds and insects are controlled with traditional techniques such as crop rotation, mulching, and the encouragement of "beneficials," such as pest-controlling spiders. It should be noted that Organic soil also contains many more earthworms and soil microbes than earth subject to harsh chemicals.

Studies show that healthy, live soil at an organic tea garden returns far higher crop yields per unit of energy and fertilizer expended than conventional farming methods. This diversity creates a healthy cultivation.

Our wildlife is safer

About organic tea cultivation concerning our local wildlife, we can be assured that it creates a safer environment. The Soil Association, an international organization for organic cultivation, notes that a typical organic field has five times as many wild plants, 57 percent more animal species, and 44 percent more birds than a conventionally cultivated farm. Conventional synthetic herbicides and pesticides often kill non-target animals, plants, and insects.

The Times of India reported that at least 10 leopards and five elephants died between 1999 and 2001 due to leakage of pesticides from tea gardens in West Bengal. Certainly more have died since then. When mixed with other solvents, these pesticides exert a massive toxic effect on the environment for a long duration, affecting birds, animals and humans.

A safer environment for humans

Organic farming is safer for the workers in tea gardens.  Conventional tea estates do little for the health security of their workers. According to Oxfam, a British non-profit agency working to put an end to poverty world-wide, the spraying of pesticides on tea estates is often done by untrained casual daily wage workers, sometimes even by children and adolescents, who are illiterate and cannot read the warnings on the containers.

Many tea farmers spray their plants upwards of 15 to 20 times each year depending on pest infestations. Most of the chemicals they are using (such as - Aldrin 20E, Carbofuran 30, Endosulfan 35 EC, Malathion 50 EC, Tetradifon 8 EC, Calixin 80 EC) are listed as hazardous and toxic, and a number of them are banned in western countries. Despite the dangers of exposure to toxic materials, workers are not forced to follow safey measures, and in fact, are seen to go barefoot and wearing shorts rather than using recommended safety gear such as masks, gloves, rubber boots, and polythene aprons.

About organic tea farming and you

We all have the choice to choose  organic products, but it's interesting to note that before eating conventional fruit we can wash it, but with tea, it is first washed when it is brewed for drinking.
