According to my experience living in China, there are some Organic
teas here...

1. The teas people get from factories are hard to say, because as
Maurice mentioned before, the factory usually get teas from tea-
farmers, and in this situation, the pesticides are often used;
otherwise the tealeaves would be full of holes from bugs.

2. The tea farmers never drink teas that have used pesticides, it's
totally organic. Because this tea is not for sale.

Well, until now, there are so many brands in market say that their
teas are organic, but usually, who knows?...
