Loose leaf tea is simply tea sold as loose, whole, or broken leaves rather than pre-packaged inside individual tea bags.
Because it isn't restricted by a small bag, the tea has room to fully expand, resulting in a much more flavorful, aromatic, and nuanced cup.
Why Choose Loose Leaf?
- Superior Quality: Tea bags often contain "dust" or "fannings"—the leftover remnants from tea production. Loose leaf generally consists of premium, whole or large-cut leaves that retain their natural essential oils.
- Multiple Steepings: High-quality loose leaves can often be steeped 2 to 3 times, with each infusion revealing new flavor layers.
- Eco-Friendly: Many standard tea bags contain hidden plastics (such as polypropylene) that release microplastics into your cup. Loose leaf allows you to avoid this and cuts down on single-use waste. [1, 2]
How to Brew It
Instead of a bag, you will need a tool to contain the leaves while they steep so you don't end up with leaves floating in your drink.
- Infusers & Strainers: Place about one teaspoon of leaves per 8 ounces of water into a metal tea ball, silicone infuser, or reusable cloth/mesh basket.
- Teapots: Add the leaves directly to a teapot, and then pour the hot water over them. When it's done steeping, pour the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into your mug.
- French Press: You can also use a standard French press to steep the leaves and simply press the plunger down to filter them out.
