Organic products are priced expensive, the key thing is all about integrity management and trust with consumers. Any label specifies only that the farm is organic, which is a notional extension that the product out that is organic.

Many food products can legally be called organic because they were grown and processed without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers. In the case of organic tea, an independent certification board verifies the tea plants were strictly grown in natural soil fertilized with only organic additives. The use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers is already minimal in the tea industry, so it is not generally difficult to produce a legally organic tea.
Organic tea often requires more labor-intensive practices than other types of tea, so it is often more expensive in the retail market.
Top 10 factors contributing to the high price of organic food:
1. No chemicals = more labor
2. Demand overwhelms supply
3. Higher cost of fertilizer for organic crops
4. Crop rotation
5. Post-harvest handling cost
6. Organic certification
7. Cost of covering higher loss
8. Better living conditions for livestock
9. Organic food grows more slowly
10. Subsidies
