Organic And Fair Trade Certified Real Brewed Black Tea

Real brewed black tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which are processed through oxidation. The 'organic' and 'Fair Trade Certified' labels indicate that the tea was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers and that farmers received fair wages and worked in safe conditions.

Black tea is used as a primary ingredient to provide flavor and color in beverages, especially iced teas and bottled teas. It can also be used in some baked goods and desserts for its distinct taste.

Black tea is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food ingredient. It contains caffeine, which can have stimulant effects, and antioxidants like flavonoids, which are studied for potential health benefits. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tea and its components. While generally considered safe, excessive consumption of caffeine from any source can lead to side effects like nervousness or sleep difficulties.
