Loose Leaf Tea over Teabags

Updated: Jun 25

Loose leaf tea is the best way to enjoy its fantastic flavours. Teabags cannot offer you such a broad choice of aromas and tastes. To select and enjoy the tea, you should develop a relationship with this amazing drink.

Take your time to examine the leaves, inhale their fragrance and appreciate their texture. These simple actions will bring you closer to the authentic world of tea and a better understanding of its nature.

Why choose loose leaf tea over teabags?



1

Quality and choice


Loose leaf tea is undoubtedly of higher quality. Teabags often consist of small particles of lower-grade tea. Some teas are impossible to fit into a teabag without breaking them. Consequently, it limits your choice. The smaller the particle is, the more flavours it loses while being processed, and the less you experience in your cup.



2

More space, more flavour


Tea leaves need room to open up and release their full flavour. In a teapot or infuser, loose leaves have the space to unfurl properly. This gives the water more surface area to work with, drawing out all those subtle notes and aromas. The result? A deeper, more satisfying cup of tea.

Health benefits


Tea is naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Loose leaf tea gives the leaves space to move freely in water, allowing for better extraction of those nutrients. Teabags, especially when made from paper or nylon, can restrict this process and reduce the overall benefit — and the taste.



4

Sustainability


Loose leaf tea is the more eco-friendly option. The leaves themselves are completely compostable, while many teabags — even the plant-based ones — need industrial recycling to break down properly. Depending on the conditions, they can take a long time to decompose. Loose tea helps cut down on unnecessary waste like plastic, string, staples, and paper tags — and reduces the resources needed to produce them in the first place.



5

Richer experience


With loose leaf tea, you’re in charge. You can adjust the amount of tea, the steeping time, and the temperature to suit your taste and mood. Teabags give you less freedom to experiment, which means fewer opportunities to discover what you really enjoy. Loose tea lets you tailor each cup to be just right for you.



6

Enjoy the moment


Making loose leaf tea gives you a reason to slow down — even if just for a few minutes. Watching the leaves gently swirl and change colour as they steep is a quiet pleasure in itself. It’s a small, calming ritual that can bring a sense of pause and presence to your day.

Let it be your little moment of peace!
