Is it safe to drink tea with pesticide residues?

Some people are asking, such as pesticide residues in tea, excessive lead and fluorine, etc., which often appear in newspapers, and people often struggle whether to drink tea or not. I can tell you for sure that the statement that tea is unsafe is often exaggerated, and tea is still safe to drink.

There is basically no pesticide residue in tea. At present, the state has strict regulations on the scope of use, dosage and safety interval of pesticides. Before the pesticide is registered and used, a large number of experiments must be carried out, and it can only be listed after it meets the requirements.

In addition, spot checks in recent years show that the qualified rate of pesticide residues in tea is over 97%. The most important thing is that we drink tea instead of tea. At present, the pesticides used in tea in China are basically fat-soluble, which is difficult to dissolve in the process of making tea.

If you are still worried about pesticide residues, it is recommended to choose spring tea from June to September, which is the main month for spraying pesticides. Prior to this, there were less pesticide residues in spring tea.
