Iranian tea is among the best globally for two reasons: tea purity is guaranteed as it is completely made from tea leaves, without any adulteration, and secondly, very little pesticide is used on the crop. Cases of fraud in tea production in Iran are far less compared to foreign tea, said Hossein Rastegar, director general of the Food and Drug Quality Control Laboratory. “There are instances of black tea manufacturers mixing grass in their products,” ISNA quoted him as saying.
