Loose Leaf Tea Vs Tea Bags...Which one do I use?

Look, I know you're used to going to your local grocery store and picking up a box of tea bags and now you're looking at the tea here at Simplici-Tea and thinking, "what the hell am I supposed to do with this?" This brings up the conversation of loose leaf tea vs. tea bag. The main difference between the two is the grade of the tea used and the amount of room the tea has to steep.


Loose leaf tea are considered high quality tea because their leaves are unbroken. Tea bags contains tea dust and fannings, which are small particles leftover from tea production.


The flavors of loose leaf and bag tea are different as well. Think about some of the most aromatic, high-quality teas being packaged in the tea bags. Because of the way tea bags are produced, this will not allow the full potential of the tea flavoring. With loose leaf teas, the flavor can change depending on the number of leaves you add to your cup. A key component to the taste of tea is the water temperature.


At the end of the day, it is your decision! You might not have the time to properly brew a cup of loose leaf tea, so use a teabag. You might want to explore the flavor profile of your loose leaf tea so you gave the tea bags a rest for the day. What we're happy and excited about is that you're indulging in tea! Because it's the simple things.
