So i've been drinking brooke bond red label chai since 2017 ever since falling in love with it and for it's health benefits. Then my adopted sibling sent me a link in 2018 that brooke bond had pesticide issues.

Having stayed in Pakistan since January till June, I consumed lipton black tea and couldn't decide if it's better than brooke bond. It tastes superbly healthy and sometimes lighter than brooke bond but i'd like other people's experienced advise on the matter.
 
When in Bangladesh I always have Ispahani Chai in the pantry which is mostly locally sourced (Sylhet and Chittagong Tea Estates - Sylhet is next door to Assam and has the same weather and tea varieties). Every tea company sells better and economical varieties. The more expensive Ispahani black tea blend is Blender's Choice, their midgrade tea is called Zareen. Mirzapore is the economic variety.

Just some informational tidbit - the best tea leaves are loose and if you know tea garden owners (like I do) then you will get the best of the best from the garden for no coinage occasionally. The black stuff from the garden is almost too strong, you boil half as much in the saucepan.

In North America PG Tips is in my pantry as well (backup if I deplete my regular stash from back home), it is the most widely available on Amazon which my friends serve when I go to dawats. PG Tips also has Gold variety which tastes a bit better. But PG Tips is also mostly sourced from India and Africa but is blended in the UK.

There are smaller tea estates in Rangpur in Bangladesh who now produce organic black, white and green tea, some of them closer to the border area in North Bengal near Darjeeling.
