Certified Organic Cultivation
Due to the growing demand, the market offers a wide variety of organically
produced teas, meaning that no pesticides or insecticides may be used in their
cultivation. Since January 1, 2009, the EU regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and the
commision regulation (EC) No 889/2008 form a uniform basis of the cultivation,
processing, storing, labeling and selling of organically produced foods. This
regulation states that, for example, all ingredients used in organic teas must
be of organic origin and that only natural fl avors may be used.
Official
agreements of the USDA and the European Commission have acknowledged
compatibility of each others organic certifications (USDA & EU organic
system). The US now allows agricultural products to be sold, labeled, or
represented as organically produced, including by display of the USDA organic
seal as well as the EU organic logo. New organic label: Since July 1, 2012, the
new EU organic label showing the form of a “EU leaf” is mandatory on all
packaging of organic products within the EU.
