Default worried about pesticides in tea?

Since a lot of the tea we drink comes from China and Indonesia, are
you ever worried that the tea leaves were sprayed with pesticides such
as DDT or other harmful chemicals? I'd hate to think that I could
be drinking a cup full of toxins or pesticides along with my EGCG.

Is the correct move to switch to organic teas? Does anyone really
know if tea bushes are completely safe for consumption?

Any input is highly appreciated. thanks.
