The ecological importance of organic teas


As a modest sized tea importer and distributor, we have access to a wealth of information published in various coffee and tea trade journals.  The Tea & Coffee Trade Journal is one of the main publications covering all modern aspects of both these specialty industries. 

We recently received the October issue and there is a great article written by Pearl Dexter (founder and editor of Tea, A Magazine) about the organic tea gardens of southern India. 

This article gives great insight into how these small scale tea estates help contribute to the ecological environments of the tea-growing regions of the world.  Her tour of the region by the estates owners gives a great snap shot of how the cultivation of tea in this region has shifted to be more socially and ecologically responsible.

Hi Hartley,

thanks for pointing this article out - I find it highly interesting and will share it with my customers!
I always suspected that tea is making the world a better place, and now I have some reasons to back it up ;-)
