Tea, whether grown organically or conventionally, is one of the cleanest foods on earth. Each year we introduce several new Organic teas to our collection. This effort is a reflection of our wholehearted commitment to environmental and social responsibility. It must be said, however, that many teas produced via conventional agriculture still hold an edge over Organic selections with regard to quality, taste and purity. Which agricultural method is superior? The decision lies ultimately in your satisfaction with each cup!

The Bio seal is a legal requirement for all organically cultivated products in Europe. It assures the consumer that all Organic production criteria are being met, and that the agricultural methods used are environmentally friendly. All TeaGschwendner teas, Organic or not, undergo strict testing at our in-house laboratory.
