During the year 2020, 60 samples of black and green tea bags were collected from Jordanian markets. The samples were subjected to multi-residue analysis for 16 carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which belong to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) priority pollutant list and 20 banned organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). A QuEChERs method was developed for the determination of 16 EPA PAHs and OCPs residues using hyphenated gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) for analysis. To minimize the colors of chlorophyll and carotenoids, the concentrated extracts were subjected to 10 mg of activated charcoal for further extraction. The QuEChERs technique has been validated, and the outcomes in terms of linearity, detection limits, quantitation limits, precision, and recovery have been satisfactory. On one hand, none of the examined black and green tea bag samples contained any of the studied OCPs, while the estimated quantities of PAHs, on the other hand, ranged from 280.03 to 486.46 µg kg −1 , and the amounts of benzo[a]pyrene ranged from 4.85 to 8.56 µg kg −1 . The light PAHs were predominant in both black and green tea samples (90%), while the contribution of heavy PAHs was much less significant (10%). The incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) was evaluated, and the values for all tea samples have not exceeded the limit value of 10 −6  but ranged from 4.17 × 10 −8  to 0.0158 × 10 −8 , thus indicating a slight potential risk.
