Lipton Tea

I read a long time ago that dyes are added to tea and they don't have to list it on the label. Although some green teas, such as Lipton, do list blue no. 1 on their bottled teas.  Plus, Lipton uses bleached tea bags, which leeches the chemical dioxin, a known carcinogen, into your tea.  And, they also have aluminum staples. 

 COMMONLY USED ADULTERANTS IN TEA

» Used tea leaves are colored, dried and mixed with fresh tea leaves

-Wet a sample of leaves, rub on bltting paper. Colour on blotting paper indicates adulteration.

»Iron filling in tea leaves

-Pass a magnet through the tea leaves. The iron fillings will cling to the magnet.

» Artificial dye in tea leaves

-Put tea leaves on moistened blotting paper.
Artificially coloured leaves will impart colour to blotting paper.
