Teas Without GMOs in Ingredients or Bags

Are you evaluating grocery products to drop ship? When searching for food products to add to your store’s list, tea is a good option. However, consumers are increasingly conscious of the dangers of GMOs, or genetically modified organisms. These shoppers want non-GMO foods, so choose your teas carefully. Many conventional tea bags are made with corn. Unfortunately, corn is one of the highest-risk GMO products, or foods most likely to be genetically modified. To appeal to your consumer, you will want to sell confirmed non-GMO teas. This article will provide a sampling of non-GMO teas from a variety of brands.  These teas were also carefully selected for diverse tastes: black, green, breakfast, rooibos, herbal and fruity teas are all included. Most importantly, all of these teas are Non-GMO Project Verified. You can be confident that their producers used best practices to restrict GMO contamination. Add these teas to your Non-GMO food list today.

Rooibos Tea: Numi Organic Tea Indulgent Tea Chocolate Rooibos

Numi Teas have set Non-GMO standards.

• Frustrated that most other companies made tea bags with a bio-plastic consisting of GMO corn, Numi took action.
• The company knew that a tea bag with GMOs was a problem for a tea with non-GMO certified ingredients. (When a GMO tea bag soaks in hot water, the GMO parts of the bag leak out and mix with the tea. If the tea is non-GMO, the GMO ingredients from the bag contaminate the tea.)
• Numi developed a non-GMO tea bag and voluntarily asked that the bag be verified by the Non-GMO Project in 2014. At that point, only the ingredients of tea, not the bag, had to undergo testing before the Non-GMO Project could verify the tea.
• Numi’s move prompted the Non-GMO Project to update its tea standards. Now, third parties must test both tea ingredients and tea bag before they verify a tea. (Thus, all of the teas included on this non-GMO food list are non-GMO from bag to ingredients.)

A Unique Rooibos

• All of Numi’s organic teas are Non-GMO Project Verified. However, this Chocolate Rooibos tea is one of their most distinctive offerings.
• If you love hot chocolate or cocoa-and-coffee beverages, this tea is for you. Just prepare yourself—this tea brings a distinct twist to the chocolate beverage.
• Its foundations  include “smooth South African rooibos” blended with 45% “rich cacao.”
• “Creamy real vanilla beans,” and “sweet honeybush” feature as flavor complements.
• Numi’s Indulgent Tea Chocolate Rooibos is perfect for cold nights, or any time that you are craving chocolate.
•   Numi’s own package says it best: “This sensual treat is a delightful, soothing beverage you can melt into.”
• The tea is also USDA Certified Organic with Fair Trade Certified ingredients. Be satisfied that this decadent teasan is sourced in ways that are better for the environment, your health, and the world. Indulge and do good.

Hibiscus/Herbal Tea: Triple Leaf Hibiscus with White Mulberry Leaf

• The Chinese have given the hibiscus various names, including “Da Hong Hua” (Big Red Flower). They have held this flower as an important herb throughout their history. It makes sense that Triple Leaf Teas, a company that blends authentic traditional Chinese herbal teas, offers hibiscus tea.

• Triple Leaf Hibiscus with White Mulberry Leaf has a deep reddish-purple hue. It is a distinctive, visually appealing tea choice to serve hot or iced.

• Give Triple Leaf Hibiscus with White Mulberry Leaf a try and expand your taste buds, product list, or both.
