Tea bags are great, they’re convenient, you can easily find your favourites in the supermarket and they allow you to enjoy a cuppa in no time. However there’s nothing like the taste and experience when drinking traditional loose leaf tea.
The taste that comes out of the larger leaves present in loose leaf tea is much more intense and flavourful than the small leaves present in tea bags. Plus, tea leaves need room to breathe to actually provide the flavours that they’re capable of. Being free of the cramped tea bag, loose leaf tea has plenty of room to absorb the water, which results in a really flavourful brew.
So whilst tea bags are convenient and an easy way to enjoy a cuppa in no time, loose leaf teas are the traditional and more flavourful way to enjoy a cup of tea.
