ALL THE BLACK TEAS LISTED HERE ARE OF SPECIAL SEASONAL
QUALITY MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR US AT THE INDIVIDUAL ESTATE FACTORIES:
PESTICIDES RESIDUES:
There is considerable concern by many consumers about pesticide levels in food
products. Ceylon teas are controlled by special regulations on restriction in
the use of pesticides. There is a special regulatory mechanism in place to register
acceptable pesticides for import and then a licensing process for their use
only when bad disease outbreaks have been notified and cleared for treatment.
As a result of this strict policy Ceylon teas were declared the cleanest teas
in the world with regard to spray chemical residues in 1997 and that status
continues to this day. Some background to this can be seen in the 'NEWS' section
and also in the 'Health' section of
this website.
BLACK OR GREEN TEA for HEALTH ?:
Up to now it has been proposed that Green teas are the healthy option for you.
This view is outdated and superseded by years of research into Black teas. Both
teas possess these health advantages as long as they are of the Camellia Sinensis
tea bush. This does not relate to Robibos, Mate herbal teas or fruit teas, none
of these named teas are from the Camellia Sinensis bush. See the Health section
for full information and the booklet on sale below. Consumers should however
understand that these health promoting factors can be degraded under certain
conditions in manufacture and where teas are exposed to air as in some re-packing
situations as tea is extremely hygroscopic.
Please note that each heading bar has an underlined note saying 'More information'. If you wish to view the packing of these items please click on 'MORE INFORMATION' and you will be taken to a back page with photographs of the packs.
You may wish to send friends or relatives items as a gift. If so please enter the delivery address in the form of the receiver & a card with your own message can be included for an extra charge of £1.50p. If you require this service please confirm this in the message line at the end of the entry form together with your message.
E-mails: We will confirm your order by E-mail but we will not send any other E-mails unless you first contact us and make a request.
