The importance of organic tea can get overlooked, since it's not technically food, maybe. Tea leaves are never washed, so the pesticides sprayed on them are dried into the tea. The first time that the tea actually touches water, after it's been picked, is in your tea pot. A nice chemical bath steeping. Go for the organic!
