Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Organic India Tulsi contains pesticides and dangerous levels of LEAD! I bought this tea and it tasted horrible, then threw it away once I did more research and found out why. Please look up the article “CERS finds heavy metals, pesticide residues in 12 brands of organic tea made in India” The article states....“CERS tested the brands for the presence of heavy metals, like lead and copper, besides pesticide residues like lindane, aldrin, dieldrin, DDT, endosulfan, dicofol and ethion. Among the tea brands claiming to be organic, the highest amount of lead was found in ‘Organic India Tulsi Green’“ ....“In a startling revelation, 12 brands of organic tea, tested by the Consumer Education and Research Society (CERS) in Ahmedabad, showed traces of heavy metals in them. The findings have been published by CERS in the March-April 2011 issue of its consumer magazine, Insight.... All 15 tea brands contained traces of heavy metals, though within the specified “limits.”” We know these limits are BS and Organic India should have been testing their product from the start. This is unacceptable. I suggest you do not buy any herb from India, even organic. There are several options for Organic Tulsi grown in the USA. Search on Etsy if you can to support smaller businesses. In 2018, The New Indian Express published an article called: “Pesticide in food 40 times more than in US, UK”. This is really bad guys. The standard for pesticide and heavy metal contamination is really low in India. If they cared about it, they would not have such toxicity in their food.
