A recent poll of its consumer panel by SupermarketGuru found the leading reasons why consumers buy organic is to:
Avoid pesticides - 78%
Health of themselves and their family - 70%
To avoid additives - 63%
To support farmers & growers - 51%
Because they are good for the environment - 51%
Because they support the principles that organic stands for - 47%
Only 40% said they purchase organic products based on nutrition. Of the entire panel, 61% said that they buy organic foods. This study was cited in the Fall 2012 issue of The Organic Report, published by the Organic Trade Association. Click here to select from our extensive collection of Organic Teas. And always look for the official USDA Organic seal on products. Do not be fooled by the words "natural" or "low pesticide". Those are not organic.
The most relaxing time of the day with my wife is our afternoon tea. We take our time as while the tea cools it improves in both flavor, mouth feel, and of course the buzz. This is my only deliberate flirt with caffeine and everything else that is packed into this tea. We believe this time together, music, tea, and laughing improves all the rest of our life.
How wonderful! You describe the full experience of tea in detail and with love. It is no wonder they call Oolong 'liquid sunshine'.
