Organic TeasUp until synthetic fertilizers and pesticides were introduced, all tea was organic. Dramatic plant growth made possible by the use man-made fertilizers and easier garden maintenance through the use of chemical pesticides, made the continued use of organic practices a poor business decision for garden owners. Many older tea estates have over-used these modern tools, which has depleted the soil and weakened the tea bushes.

In 1980 a German company by the name of Schraders, first introduced organic tea to the European market. Since then, Germany has become the biggest advocate and consumer of organically grown teas in the world.
The first tea estate to convert completely to organic production was the Luponde Estate in Tanzania in the late 1980s. Several Indian and Japanese gardens were quick to follow their lead.

The organic category has moved out of the health food stores and has found a niche in the premium tea trade. One of the last obstacles for the organic category is legitimate certification. The U.S. Department of Agriculture monitors a rigid set of guidelines for the U.S. organic industry, which were recently introduced in the first National Organic Program, developed by the federal government.
