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.

Brooke Bond Red Tea is made in India is it not? I hear that it funds the Indian government and their atrocities in Kashmir.

But, I do not know how you deal with such stances and your views on boycott @ThunderCat

But, to answer your question, I prefer the Pakistani Tapal Tea brands.

Yaar the best chai in the world is sold in Saddar at the Grand Tea company. Their flying horse brand Kenya chai is so good that I've never had better chai than that in my life. If you have it once, you'll never have anything else.

Doesn't Pakistan import most of it's tea from Kenya?

Correct, and this chai sold in Saddar bazaar Karachi is a legend in itself. I've never had better tea than this.

Brooke Bond is a British brand with sources in Bharat, I believe and the same is true for Lipton. I quit Hain Celestial a their tea is overloaded with pesticides and sodium which cause constipation.

But I live in Canada. I will buy this tea when in Pakistan next. Any chance of finding it at the supermarket such as Imtihaz?
