Why Organic Tea is better Vs. Conventional Tea

Difference between Organic tea and
Ordinary tea
|
|
ORGANIC TEA |
REGULAR TEA |
1) |
Organic means no chemicals |
Organic tea is grown without the
use of chemicals fertilizer, pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides. That
directly means no chemicals in your cup of tea! |
Conventional tea-growing methods
may maximize production in the short term, but there is a serious threat to
the human health. |
2) |
Better for the
Farmers |
As organic farming
is done without chemicals or pesticides, there is no harm to the farmers
& workers who are directly engaged in various activities of tea-gardens. |
Tea farmers and field workers often spray crops unmasked and without
gloves or other protective gear. Pesticide poisoning is common, which causes
terrible symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, itching, burning, diarrhoea
and muscle pain, and at the extreme end, infertility and lives lost to
cancer.

3) |
Doesn't Cause Major Environmental Damage |
Organic farming
is widely considered to be a far more sustainable alternative when
it comes to tea production. The lack of pesticides and wider variety of
plants enhances biodiversity and results in better soil quality and reduced
pollution from fertilizer or pesticide run-off. |
Conventionally grown tea is one of the most environmentally
devastating crops in Asia. Because it is often grown at higher elevations,
the chemicals applied to conventional tea farms not only damage the local
ecosystem but run-down mountains and hills to wreak havoc on other farms,
forests, rivers and even oceans located miles and miles away. |
