Best Teas — Single-Origin, Heavy-Metal Tested

Tea absorbs heavy metals from the soil it grows in; low-cost supermarket teas often test for elevated aluminum, lead, and fluoride. Our top-scoring teas are single-origin, third-party heavy-metal tested, and leaf-cut (not dust in pouches).

What to look for

Whole leaf or broken leaf — not dust
Third-party heavy-metal tested (look for ISO or independent lab)
Single origin — region named on the packet
Organic certification (reduces pesticide + metal load)
No 'natural flavors' in pure teas
