The word "organic" seems simple enough but can be confusing for
consumers. Here is an inside look at the standards and laws
governing this important group of products, particularly tea.

Thinkpad In 1990, Congress passed the Organic Food Production Act (OFPA)
requiring the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to develop
national organic standards. The National Organic Program (NOP) and
OFPA developed regulations requiring products labeled "organic"
originate from farms, or handling facilities, that are certified by
either State or private agencies that have been accredited by the
USDA.
The regulations further state that farms, or handling facilities
may not use any of the following in production or handling;

Lenovo What are "organic" labeling standards?
Hard Drive Organic labeling is the simplest part of the certification
process and the aspect that is most confusing for consumers. While
many times "organic" on a label means you pay more, what is the
meaning behind the label? The standards are based on the percentage
of organic ingredients in a product, and by law must be identified
like this;
Travelstar .Products labeled "100 % organic" must contain only organically
produced ingredients.
Gateway .Products labeled "organic" must consist of at least 95%
organically produced ingredients.
Laptop Parts .Both may display the USDA Organic Seal.
Software .Processed products that contain at least 70% organic
ingredients can only use the phrase "made with organic
ingredients".
Hard Drives .Processed products that contain less than 70% organic
ingredients cannot use the term "organic" other than to identify
the specific ingredients, on the ingredients list, that are
organically produced.
Electronics So what does all this mean to US tea consumers? Since tea is
grown outside of the US certification is almost always done by
foreign agents. It has become increasingly important for consumers
concerned about how their teas are grown to be comfortable with
their tea supplier. Bio terrorism laws have impacted tea
importation by looking more closely overall at what and who are
importing products into this country, particularly food products.
While these laws can sometimes impede the smooth flow of tea to us
from overseas it may be beneficial overall to consumers due to the
"closer look" of the FDA.
Canon Converting gardens and estates to organic farming is a costly
and lengthy process and sometimes not even a consideration for
small farmers. In some cases farmers are already doing a lot right,
but lack the knowledge or funding necessary to become certified.
There is an effort by the US tea industry to educate growers on the
benefit both economically and ecologically for growing teas
organically.
Desktop Pc Quality, from a taste perspective, has been an issue with
organic teas. Gardens converting to organic farming have
challenges, short and long term, producing teas that taste as good.
As processes continue to improve an d farmers gain more experience,
quality and taste are improving.
Desktop Computers As an importer and supplier of premium teas one of our major
responsibilities is knowing the production standards and
philosophies of the gardens we work with. Securing quality, organic
teas with outstanding taste characteristics can be challenging but
more become available each season.

Cisco It was not the honeymoon that Newman Johnston envisioned.
Keyboard Newly wed and off enjoying a romantic winter vacation in the
mountains of Colorado, Newman's wife Beth experienced a wonderful
cup of Mango Ceylon tea. "Everywhere we went the tea seemed to
follow us," said Newman. "And the more it crossed our path the more
intrigued and determined Beth became." That determination lead them
to a warehouse filled with chests of loose-leaf teas and a British
tea enthusiast. Beth knew she had found her calling and to
everyone's surprise, announced that she was going back to Florida
to open a tea company. While the idea seemed crazy, especially to
Newman, the seed had been planted.
Monitor Six months later armed with an idea and little else, Beth opened
Teas Etc., Inc. Targeting hotels, restaurants and cruise lines, she
hoped to convert them from serving tea bags, the lowest grade of
tea, to higher quality, better tasting loose-leaf teas. While she
had limited success in this segment of the market, what she gained
was a valuable learning experience. This bumpy road defined the
company's objectives. The mission continues to be simplifying and
enhancing the tea drinking experience.
Desktop Immersing herself in the "cup" Beth soaked up every drop of
"tea" possible, exploring all aspects of the leaf from history to
health benefit. With her newfound passion, she began going directly
to consumers sharing her excitement and knowledge through
workshops, special events, green markets, and anywhere else that
people would listen. It became clear that people wanted to learn
more so Beth launched the content rich web site www.TeasEtc.com and
began publishing the Tea Spot. The journey that was once
just an idea was brewing up nicely.
Infosys Continuously challenged to find the freshest loose-leaf tea Beth
quickly realized the need to go directly to the source and began
networking with growers around the globe. Teas Etc, now an
importer, offers the most recent harvests of a wide range of teas,
including rare and limited varieties, traditional black, green,
oolong and white teas, as well as rooibos and herbal blends. The
Company serves retail and wholesale customers via green markets,
mail and phone orders, the website http://www.TeasEtc.com and other
events.
Refurbished Laptops Her 16-year-old son has worked the green market since he was
nine. "Christopher has a real spark and a tremendous knowledge of
tea," said Beth. "He is probably one of the best sales people I've
have ever had. You should see the look on the faces of customers
when he rattles off the health benefits derived from the different
varieties of tea or demonstrates the quality of loose-leaf tea
versus bagged teas."
Wipro Last but not least, Newman joined the "tea" journey full time in
October 2001. "We are a great match, our individual strengths and
weaknesses compliment each other and are well balanced," he says.
"We are truly a Mom and Pop business."
Lap Top Recently the company has expanded to provide turnkey services,
private label and pre-packaged product to select spas, yoga studios
and health service providers. "Tea is the natural fit for any
establishment that offers health, beauty or lifestyle enhancement,"
exclaimed Beth. "Serving unique high quality teas to clients is an
excellent value added service, the perfect way to set you apart
from the competition and a viable source of increased revenue."
Refurbished When asked to sum up her thoughts on tea, Johnston said, "Tea is
an awesome journey, it is so much more than a beverage to quench
thirst. It soothes the soul and nurtures the spirit one sip at a
time."
