Why Choose Loose Leaf?

Loose leaf tea to many who aren’t big tea drinkers seems like a lot of work when there are these nice little prepackaged tea bags in the grocery stores.  Well we have the answer for you!

Have you ever wondered why those tea bags in the store can have a bitter taste to them?  Or have had to use several tea bags for one cup of tea?  One of the reasons these questions arise is due to the fact that most of these tea bags are made with the teeny tiny particles known as fannings left over from the loose leaf tea blends that are created.  This means that you don’t get the best flavor and can cause a bitterness to the tea because the fannings contain a higher amount of tannins which cause the harsh flavor.

Loose leaf tea is the better way to go!  You get larger pieces of the tea leaves that equates to you getting the best sensory (i.e. aroma, taste, and presentation) experience you can get from brewing your loose leaf tea.  As a side benefit you can steep your loose leaf tea more than one time, and there is a lot less waste in throwing away all those tea bags and their outer packaging.

Try loose leaf tea and see why it is truly the best!
