Benefits of Loose-leaf Tea

Benefits of Loose-leaf Tea

Higher quality

-               Higher quality, made from whole unbroken leaves

-               Actual tea, not fannings (small leftover bits of tea) or tea dust

-               No harmful residue from teabags or sachets (plastics and chemicals)

-               Loose-leaf teas are usually higher grades of tea from end-to-end, comprising the actual tea garden, the type of tea plant, the part of the plant used, and the production method

Increased health benefits

-               Full benefits of tea: it can take ten teabags to get the same level of benefits

-               Catechins and other antioxidants and nutrients are strongest and at the highest levels in fresh, whole tea leaves; thus, all health benefits of tea are enhanced

-               Benefits of the leaves last longer, and less surface area of the leaves are exposed to the environment, so the tea will not go stale as quickly

-               Higher grades of tea usually have more benefits

More flavor

-               Get the full flavor of tea: all the tea oils are intact and not filtered out or rancid

-               The tea can unfurl and breathe, which leads to more flavor

-               Higher grades of tea usually have better and richer depths of flavor

More environmentally friendly

-               Less processed: closest to fresh-picked tea from the bush with minimal processing

-               More environmentally friendly: minimal manufacturing and no teabags or sachets waste
