Newman’s Own Organics Royal Tea, available in green or black, is value-priced and pesticide-free, I only wish it were fair trade too. Sure you save a few cents but fair trade products really aren’t much more expensive than their commodity cousins. Take the plunge and go fair trade Mr Newman!

That said, Royal Tea is a soothing and flavorful tea experience. It may not trump looseleaf teas but it certainly stands up to other bagged products. The bags are individually wrapped for freshness, but this ads to the waste factor. My suggestion is to buy smaller quantities of bulk tea so that you never have it long enough for it to go stale.

This organic tea tastes great but it isn’t as green as I would have hoped. Priced at $3.99 for 100 bags at least it’s inexpensive. Here’s how I rated it:

• Green: 2.5/4
• Value: 2.5/3
• Quality: 3/3
• Final GreenDeals score: 8/10
