There is a harmful Chinese Tea known as ACHOURA being allegedly smuggled into Ghana by some traders, the National Security Ministry has warned.

National Security Minister, Albert Kan-Dapaah, raised the red alert in a letter to the Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu.

The letter says the tea has found its way onto the Ghanaian market.

The letter indicated that the said tea, ACHOURA has been banned by Burkina Faso’s Chamber of Commerce on 19th February, 2021 because it has traces of pesticides.

The letter disclosed that the tea, from the Sahelian regions, is suspected to have found it way to the Northern parts of Ghana and some Zongo communities.

ACHOURA tea is made from China and checks online reveal that it is quite a popular tea brand common in Asia and parts of Northern, Western, and Central Africa.
