Tea Bag Vs Loose Leaf Tea Tea Bag Vs Loose Leaf Tea

There’s no denying that a superior tea is marked by its freshness, flavor and quality and that the leaf is the source of these three elements. With loose tea, the whole leaf of the tea is preserved retaining its oil and zest whereas with tea bags the leaves are produced by machines which eventually leads to loss of flavor. Let’s study the difference in detail.

 

Loose Leaf
  • Whole leaf, high quality grade tea.

  • Produced in artisanal orthodox method

  • Structure & composition of the tea leaf is retained giving a rich & sumptuous flavor profile

profile
  • Produced in small batches during specific season through traditional methods of handpicking & hand sorting high grade tea leaves

  • Packed in airtight containers to seal the freshness & aroma

  • High on antioxidants and low on caffeine

  • Since whole tea leaves do not come in a sachet, they can be disposed easily after usage & are completely biodegradable

Tea Bag
  • Cut leaf, dust and fannings from broken tea leaves, low quality grade tea

  • Produced by machines in CTC (Crush – Tear – Curl) method

  • Leaves are broken rendering a dull and tasteless and one dimensional flavor profile

profile
  • Produced in bulk by machines for mass consumption that can be stored for long period of time

  • Bagged in paper or other materials that can interfere with the flavor of the tea

  • High on caffeine and low on antioxidants

  • Tea bags generate a lot of waste i.e. the outer tea wrapper, the tea bag, the string and the staple
