生To live with nature
This
is an old Chinese idiom; we must learn to live with nature.
The
current fad of everything organic is driving places like China, Vietnam to
clear virgin forest for this selfish quest for so called healthy organic
food. Medically organic food has not
proven itself to be more nutritious and healthy! The question of whether
organic is really more healthy is still out there?
If
the farmers put tons of organic fertilizer which destroy the water source and
poison the lake and ponds. With run off of rain causing erosion and landslide,
is it really ethical? Do we have the right to destroy Nature with our dreams of
longer and healthier life?
A
traditional Taiwan tea farmer told me, “ tea made traditionally is already
organic, all this organic this and organic that is really just a marketing tool
to make more money!”
Better
to go with tradition. Go for the mid mountain tea with an altitude of around
1500 meters and let the farmers get on with traditional farming method. The
farmers are more worried about their environment then you. For if they destroy
their land they suffers the consequences.
We can show our support by not buying cheap commercialized mercantile
traded tea. We should not support slave labor trade and uncontrolled
exploitation of nature. This will fundamentally change the economy of tea
industry in Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Sri Lanka and China. By using Nature’s
limited resource to produce quality affordable tea we contribute to the well
being of mother earth.
