Organic Tea, Back to Basics

ORGANIC TEA

Historically, Tea is known to have grown in the most inaccessible places, in its Natural pattern, and hence was first discovered as “The Elixir of Life” by the Buddhist Monks in China.

Tea was supposed to be of so Divine a nature, that the Monks did not even think of its cultivation at that time, but instead deployed Monkeys to pluck and bring Tea Leaves from such Inaccessible places for which they would be given Opium!

“This was Natural Tea”

Its usage was restricted to the Spiritual Few

Then came the Aristocracy of China, and the King was the only one who could drink or offer Tea.

Tea became reserved for the Monks and Kings.

With the spread of the Dutch and British Empire, who saw enormous profits in this “Miraculous” herb of the “East”, which gave “Good Health and Long Life” to its drinkers, were the first to introduce the Beverage commercially to Europe.

Tea became a vastly traded item. Finally the “Elixir of Life” was available to all of Mankind, and became the most widely consumed beverage in the world. Its many medicinal values are universally accepted and established.

Journey to the Past

Some estates in the recent times began to experiment by shunning the use of all Chemical Fertilizers, pesticides, stimulants etc on their Tea Plants. They began to provide Forest Cover and Grass Tracts between Sections of Tea.

These estates lost tremendous amount of Money by way of Reduced Yields due to Withdrawal of Fertilizers and Increased occurrence of Pests and Blights.

The Planters Persisted in their quest of achieving what was now appearing as a streak of light at the end of the tunnel.

And the end result is the Spectacular “Organic Tea”, with its outstanding Taste and Briskness, sans the ill effects of (toxic) chemicals, grown in an environment friendly manner.

And this status is conferred after suffering the rigorous abstention from anything In-Organic for three excruciating long years.
