Ask any high tea afficionado and they will immediately tell you that you should use loose leaf. Lets take a closer look at each option, and let you decide which type of tea will work best for your high tea. Loose leaf teas consist of higher quality of whole or large pieces of tea leaves and offer a wider range of flavours. On the downside, loose leaf tea requires infusers or strainers for brewing. Tea bags are filled with smaller, broken leaves or dust, and they are generally cheaper than loose leaf. On the upside, they provide convenience and quick preparation, but often at the cost of flavour. Pyramid tea pouches attempt to bridge that gap, combining the quality of loose leaf tea with the convenience of tea bags. Their larger size allows for better water circulation and fuller flavour expression, offering a more enjoyable experience compared to traditional tea bags.
