Loose Leaf Tea Will Elevate Your Tea Experience
We all know that tea tastes better when it's brewed with loose leaf. But, how many of you are aware of the top 10 reasons why you should drink loose leaf tea? Well, today I'm spreading the news on what makes drinking loose leaf tea so much better than the bagged stuff!
- Better quality - With loose leaf tea you're drinking the full tea leaves and buds rather than “tea dust and “tea fannings”.
- Healthier - The leaves in your cup are less likely to have been processed with pesticides or other chemicals and down include the plastics or paper when packaged.
- More Eco-friendly - Tea bags contain an average of 5 grams worth of waste material which is discarded into landfills or oceans where they break down into toxic substances
- More Variety - You can buy a variety of different types of loose leaf teas from different tea regions, such as black, green, white, oolong, puerh and herbal.
- More flavor - Finely broken tea leaves used for tea bags have lost most of their essential oils and aroma. You tea will have more natural complexity and aromatics.
- Cheaper - It’s more economical to drink loose-leaf tea because you're not paying for packaging that adds nothing to the flavor, and many loose leaf teas can be steeped multiple times without loosing its flavor.
