It's the ultimate debate: Loose Leaf Tea vs Tea Bags! We're not just talking about flavor—we're talking about quality, sustainability, and your health.

Here’s why whole-leaf is a game-changer:

Flavor Depth: Tea bags are filled with "dust" (fannings) where the flavor has already evaporated. Loose leaf is whole, minimally processed, and releases essential oils slowly, giving you layers of taste that evolve over multiple re-steeps.

The Microplastic Problem: Many traditional paper and nylon tea bags contain plastic seals or microplastics that can leach into your near-boiling water. Loose leaf avoids this entirely, ensuring you control what goes into your cup.

Zero Waste: Switching to loose leaf with a reusable infuser produces almost zero landfill waste—the spent leaves are perfect for composting. Most tea bags contribute plastic waste.

Cost Efficiency: While loose leaf may seem pricier upfront, the ability to re-steep quality tea 3–6 times makes the cost per cup cheaper than even basic tea bags over the long run!

Are you brewing the right tea for your mood? There are five main different types of tea, each defined by its unique processing! Understanding this simple difference is the key to unlocking the true flavors of tea in your cup.

We break down the major kinds of tea and what makes them unique:

Black Tea: Fully oxidized for a bold, malty, and strong profile. Perfect for your morning boost or premium lattes. Think rich Assam or brisk Ceylon—these are the classics among loose flavoured tea options.

Green Tea: No oxidation! These are quickly heated to preserve their vibrant color and fresh, grassy notes. Packed with antioxidants, green tea is a top choice for healthy loose tea drinkers.

Oolong Tea: The complex "middle child"—partially oxidized to create a spectrum from delicate floral to rich, roasted tones. Oolong leaves unfurl beautifully, offering 3-5 flavorful re-steeps!

White Tea: The finest loose leaf tea! Minimally processed young buds create a delicate, subtle sweetness (like honey or melon) with very low caffeine.

Herbal Teas: Caffeine-free options like rooibos or hibiscus offer pure, vibrant loose leaf flavors for evenings and specific wellness goals.
