There are many debates surrounding the use of pesticides on any type of plantation and the danger they pose to human health. Others defend their use, claiming they are beneficial in keeping pests and germs away from food. But it's really a debate that generates many opinions and on which there is no consensus. Even teas, being natural substances, are affected by this type of controversy.

Pesticides in teas are necessary to keep the plantations safe from any type of pest or weed. The problem arises when harmful substances, even those banned in Europe, are used for this purpose.

In many cases, they may be in small quantities, but that doesn't entirely eliminate their danger. For the well-being of consumers and plantation workers, their use must be reduced.

Studies on pesticides in teas

Recent studies have shown that pesticides in teas are a real reality. This is so true that no brand is free of this problem. Even in the various flavors offered, there is no difference in these substances.

These pesticides have a high toxicity index, to the point of being carcinogenic or generally harmful to health. Other types have also been found, such as pyrrolizidine alkaloids, derived directly from weeds. These in particular also have the problem of causing cancer, particularly liver cancer, or some mutation.

Third among the studies on pesticides in teas is anthraquinone, one of the most frequently detected. The latter has the same consequences as the previous ones.

The problem surrounding these substances is first and foremost the harm they can cause. Although the quantities found are within the permitted limit, the most important thing is that they are not. For now, the most significant thing is that most of the quantities used are within the legal limit.

Organic pesticides as a solution

Although organic teas had much lower levels of pesticides, they are not entirely free. Despite this, their consumption is still more highly recommended, precisely because they have successfully passed the studies.

It's important to remember that their use is prohibited in organic farming. This is why this type of beverage can have a higher reliability index.

The idea is for consumers to feel confident in consuming completely natural beverages, such as organic teas . Drinking an organic tea or infusion without pesticides or artificial substances guarantees that we're receiving the nutrients and benefits of this healthy beverage, but without risking our health.

The idea is to guarantee the well-being of both consumers and the people responsible for working the plantations, producing and distributing tea or infusions, as well as other products.

This is the philosophy we apply at Tétique , working sustainably to source and offer the best organic teas on the market, with a wide variety of products that are 100% safe as well as delicious. It's no wonder so many businesses choose us, because doing so is synonymous with responsibility and love for their profession, their employees, and their customers, as well as respect for their environment and the planet we live on.

Restaurants , cafes , hotels , beauty salons , aesthetic centers, gyms, offices, and co-working spaces , among others, are increasingly opting for organic teas and infusions. And we at Tétique work to offer them the utmost confidence and peace of mind.
