I'm starting to get into the green tea fad and was wondering if there is a brand that is grown in Canada or the US. It seems most tea is grown in India and China but I worry about both countries environmental track record. I really would not want to be ingesting pollutants in my food.

On that note, does anyone have any recommendations in regards to a locally grown brand of tea or even a specific brand that is tasty?

If you're worried about China then turn to the second largest (green) tea producer in the world- Japan.

As for brands

Does it come hand delivered by a loli?

Green tea is awesome. Japan makes green tea ice cream too. It's quite tasty.

Green tea ice cream and other products are good but I find green tea itself tasteless.

Is this a genuine health concern or are you wanting to up your green credentials?

Thanks for the link Dibrom.

It is a legit health concern as I know many toxins can leech into surface water and into the crops themselves. I believe it is India that is taking North America's electronic garbage and just throwing it into the ground. No thanks I do not need cadmium in my system. That being said you can talk about the shale fracking going on and other crap in Canada and America potentially going into our crops.

I have only had the tea from Tim Hortons and I want to see if there is anything else out there that tastes stronger. The timmies one is good but to me seems very weak.

Thanks for the replies everyone
