Organic Loose Leaf Teas
We source all of Organic Teas from The Metropolitan Tea Company in Toronto Canada and they are proud to have the following Organic program in place:
COR ORGANIC — CERTIFIED IN GOOD STANDING SINCE 2011
Metropolitan's COR program follows Canadian Food Inspection Agency guidelines for the safe production of organic products.
It integrates principles of FSSC 22000, GMP, C-TPAT, COR and the European Organic program to ensure consistent, organic products.
COR Guidelines Prohibit:
- The use of pesticides / petroleum-based fertilizers / sewage-sludge-based fertilizers
- Mixing organic and non-organic tea and herb products
- Organic products from coming into contact with prohibited substances
Annual audits ensure all processes are in order and documentation is up-to-date.
Metropolitan Tea is a CFIA, COR Certified Organic Food Handler. (Certificate #150-2008)
