Beginning your day with a cup of organic tea
Health consciousness has made people look for items of food and drink that are healthy for the body and today, organic tea is believed to be one item that helps in maintaining good health. Absence of chemicals makes organic products toxin free and thereby harmless. Absence of chemicals is due to the fact that no chemical fertilizer is used in cultivation. Organic manure is produced from cow dung, cow urine; organic manure is made from weeds and organic waste, etc. It is advisable to rear animals like cattle, goat and birds because the excreta of these animals is a very good source of organic manure.
