Whole Leaf Tea vs. Tea Bags – What You Need to Know

Ever wondered why true tea lovers prefer loose leaf tea over regular tea bags? Here’s why:

🌿 More Flavour: Whole leaves unfurl fully while steeping, releasing complex flavors and aromas.
✨ More Nutrients: Whole leaves retain antioxidants and essential oils that often get lost in tea dust or fannings used in tea bags.
🔁 Multiple Brews: You can steep whole leaf tea 2-3 times, getting more value and flavor out of each cup.

How to Choose the Best Tea Leaves for Your Taste – Copy

Choosing the right tea leaves can feel overwhelming with so many options—green, black, oolong, white, herbal! But don’t worry, we’ve got you.
Here are 3 simple tips to help:

Know Your Purpose: Want energy? Go for black or green tea. Looking to relax? Herbal blends like chamomile or peppermint are perfect.
Check the Appearance: Quality tea leaves are whole, unbroken, and aromatic. Avoid dusty or overly crushed leaves.
Smell It Before You Steep It: A strong, fresh aroma is a great sign of quality. If it smells flat, it will taste flat.

Preserve the Power of Your Tea

Tea leaves are delicate and need a little care to stay fresh and flavorful. Follow these easy tips:

Avoid Air & Moisture: Always store in an airtight container—preferably a tin or opaque glass jar.
Keep Away from Light & Heat: Store in a cool, dark cabinet. Sunlight can degrade the quality quickly.
No Strong Smells Nearby: Tea leaves absorb aromas, so don’t keep them near spices or strong-smelling food.
