Favorite Brand of Tea and Why?

Tweet

For years, I would only drink Lipton. Even iced tea, I had to make it myself. Then I found out that not only does Lipton conduct animal testing, most of it's brands had levels of pesticide that exceeded the legal level they could have in the tea. After finding that out, I changed my brand of tea to several different ones before settling on Red Rose. I just like the taste of it better than all of the tea so then I decided to research it. In the SAME pesticide testing that found the pesticide in Lipton products, Red Rose was the only brand that contained ZERO pesticides. The tea brand has made many efforts in recent years to be more ecofriendly and ethical. It has now received Rainforest Alliance Certification and Fair Trade Certified. For the last 5+ years, I've drank Red Rose tea. I didn't note the connection with that tea until someone remarked about me switching brands years ago. Red Rose is what BOTH of my grandmothers drank when they were alive. It may seem silly but it almost makes me feel closer to them even though they are both gone now. Like they're still here in a way because I enjoy the same things they did.
