Why choose loose leaf tea?1. Loose leaf tea is of higher quality Most bagged teas available from the supermarket are mass produced and made using dust ad fannings – (the tiny bits of tea left over from the production of loose leaf tea.) 2. Loose leaf tea is fresher Mass-produced tea bags are generally filled with tea leaves from different locations, and has usually travelled great distances before it reached supermarket shelves, making it less fresh. 3. Loose leaf tea tastes better Mass-produced bagged tea has been blended for standardization and as such, you won’t experience the difference in taste and aroma between types of leaves and locations. For a more refined tea experience, or if you’re looking for something that just tastes better, fresher and more wholesome, brew loose leaf tea. 4. Loose leaf tea is more diverse There is more to tea than black tea or green tea. Types of tea such as oolong, white tea, yellow tea, and fermented tea are diverse, and each is a reflection of its cultivars, climate, geography and production. 5. Loose leaf tea is better for the environment Most tea bags are not compostable, and of those that are, very few people make the effort to compost them. Loose leaf tea reduce the amount of packaging you’re using and can be directly thrown onto the compost heap. 6. Loose leaf tea is good for your health Tea has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which can contribute to your overall wellness. The primary chemicals responsible for the health claims of green tea, called catechins, are found in the highest concentrations in fresh leaves.
