Organic teas
When cultivating and producing organic teas and coffees, no artificial
fertilizers or pesticides may be used. The EU regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and
the commission regulation (EC) No 889/2008 form a uniform basis of the
cultivation, processing, storing, labelling and selling of organically produced
foods.
Starting on January 1st, 2022, the new organic base regulation
(EU) 2018/848 came into effect with adapted regulations concerning suitable
organic flavours, indications of source and others. Flavoured organic teas and
organic coffees may then only be made with organic flavours, flavours of the
95:5 (weight%) category or with essential oils.
EU Organic Seal
The organic seal labels products and raw materials from controlled organic
cultivation. Since July 1st 2012 the new EU organic label showing the form of a
“EU leaf” is mandatory on all packaging of organic products.
The
location of production of the agricultural raw materials (indication of source)
is given directly beneath the control code:
EU-Agriculture: at least 95 % of raw materials were produced
within the EU.
Non-EU-Agriculture: at least 95 % of raw

within this region.
