Organic And Fair Trade Certified Real Brewed Green Tea

Green tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which are minimally processed to prevent oxidation. The 'organic' and 'Fair Trade Certified' labels indicate that the tea was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers and that farmers received fair prices for their crops. 'Real brewed' means it is made by steeping tea leaves in water, rather than from instant tea powder.

Manufacturers use brewed green tea as a primary ingredient in beverages like iced tea and bottled tea drinks. It provides a natural, slightly bitter flavor and is often chosen for its perceived health benefits. It can also be found in some flavored waters and ready-to-drink teas.

Green tea is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains antioxidants, such as catechins, which are studied for potential health benefits. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated green tea and its components. While generally considered healthy, excessive consumption of highly concentrated green tea extracts could potentially lead to liver issues in rare cases, though this is not typically a concern with standard brewed tea.
