Kosher Tea
Kosher tea comes in almost every variety and blend
from black, green and oolongs to herbal, white and flavored
choices. It is readily available from most tea companies,
including those with worldwide distribution.
While you will not detect taste differences between
kosher tea and non-kosher blends, the brew is distinguished
because it is produced and packaged under strict supervision of
a rabbi who certifies the tea according to Jewish law, as
outlined in the Torah (the Old Testament).
In Hebrew the word, kosher, means “fit or proper.”
Jewish law details the type of animals and other food products
that can be eaten based on standards of purity.
It also dictates that meat and dairy foods not be
eaten together.
With the vast number of processed foods on grocery
store shelves today, it may be difficult to fully determine
product content and additives that may be present -- even when
foods and beverages are labeled as organic or
natural.
Kosher certification ensures that products are pure
and do not come in contact with non-kosher products during any
step in tea processing and packaging. It also
Kosher foods and beverages, which are designated with
a Kosher symbol (typically a circled “u” logo) were once
selected primarily by Jewish people.
Now consumers of all religions and areas of the world are
seeking out Kosher foods and beverages because of the assurance
of quality, integrity and purity.
