Certifications And Food Safety Data: This product meets or exceeds the food safety compliance standards covering microbiological activity, heavy metals and pesticide MRL's for the European Union, Japan, Canada, USA, and all other major tea importing countries. Metropolitan Tea undergoes annual audits for FSSC 2200, Kosher, Vegan, PIP, C-TPAT, Organic and Air Cargo Control. Biennial audits are done by CFIA and USFDA-FSMA.

Radiation: The product and its raw materials have not been treated with ultraviolet or ionized rays. The tea is not irradiated in any form.

Pesticide Use
Highly elevated tea districts, such as Darjeeling or the Kenyan highlands, can support tea without pesticides since pests that typically attack tea cannot survive at the high altitudes. In cases where pesticides are used, Metro ensures all growers meet and exceed European Union or Japanese Minimum Residue Levels, the most stringent in the industry.

More About Metropolitan Tea Co.

Since 1978, Metro's buyers & tasters have visited the world's best Tea Gardens. From Toronto to London to Abu Dhabi and the rest of the globe, Metro Tea is a hallmark of ethical operations. The company is an industry leader in responsible tea sourcing and production.
There’s more to a great cup of tea than flavor - there is also the social and economic cost to produce it. Metro Tea's experience and knowledge means they can provide the best of both. As tea industry insiders, they know who produces premium teas in a responsible manner. If a tea’s source is questionable, they will not carry it.
Working toward dignity and respect for the developing world. Metro Tea travels take them to estates and gardens throughout much of the developing world. Without exception, ensure that the products come from suppliers with excellent track records of fair treatment for all workers.
The Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP) is an organization within the tea industry that seeks to better the lives of workers and their families in tea producing countries. When ETP membership was opened to non-UK members in 2003, Metro Tea was the first company to sign on in support. As a member, Metro Tea contributes to organizational policy and purchases ETP certified teas whenever possible. The ETP has many of the same goals as Fair Trade, but deals only with the tea industry. Because tea is not a publicly traded commodity, such as coffee, Fair Trade is unable to penetrate the peculiarities of the tea trade. Tea Estates build homes, hospitals and schools to ensure workers and their families are well cared for. Annual visits by Metro Tea ensure continued compliance.
As a member of Rainforest Alliance Metro Tea works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behavior. Adhering to standards such as: Social and Environmental Management System ?Ecosystem Conservation ?Wildlife Protection ?Water Conservation ?Fair Treatment and Good Working Conditions for Workers ?Community Relations ?Integrated Crop Management ?Soil Management and Conservation ?Integrated Waste Management

Other Initiatives
Metro's factory recently underwent massive environmental renovations to reduce emissions. Energy consumption was reduced by 66%. Metro Tea purchased a farm and has planted 15,000 white pine and red pine trees. Which also preserves 80 acres of wetlands. Metro Tea finalized construction of a 500 kwh Solar Array on the roof of its factory in Toronto in early 2012. The fully commissioned the array generates more than 4 times the amount of electricity that the factory consumes. They are one of the first global carbon negative tea companies.
