Loose White Tea

Experience the real tea with loose Leaf Tea

For all the popularity and widespread usage that tea bags have acquired, tea connoisseurs across the world still vouch for the authentic, genuine, and classic tea drinking experience offered by the Loose Leaf tea. Loose leaf tea lets you experience the “farm fresh” aroma and flavor, something completely missing in tea bags.

Tea bags are definitely the more popular, user friendly form of tea. They save time and are extremely easy to use. No teapots, no strainer, no mess. Just dip a bag into a cup of boiling water or milk, and you are ready for a quick sip. Besides, you can easily control the strength of your cup. The longer you dip the bag, the stronger you tea would be. Despite all this convenience, tea bags loose out to the loose leaf tea due to a lot of factors.

Loose leaf tea is basically made up of larger, unbroken tea leaves as compared to the broken, tiny pieces of tea leaves used to make tea bags. The tea leaves contain natural oils, nutrients and aroma. Breaking down the leaving causes the oils to evaporate and nutrient content to deteriorate. Broken tea pieces are, therefore, far inferior in taste and aroma. Loose leaf tea retains the leaves’ natural oils and juices, and hence carries tea’s original fragrance and flavor.

Tea bags have tea leaves crammed into a small bag. These bags cannot allow adequate space for tea leaves to expand fully. As a result, tea leaves can only brew partially inside a tea bag.  Tea bags fail to extract the full taste out of tea. Loose leaf tea, however, is brewed in a tea pot which allows ample space for leaves to expand fully. Water circulates all around the leaves, completely submerging the tea leaves and absorbing tea’s fragrance and taste. The fully brewed Loose Tea taste just can’t be matched by few quick dips of a tea bag.

Most people think loose leaf tea is an expensive affair. First, because they definitely cost more than tea bags, and second it is difficult to store them through wet seasons. There is a high possibility of tea spoiling due to moisture or heat. What they perhaps don’t know are the numerous attractive storage options easily available at the tea stores. These Tea Tins or tea canisters are specially designed to store Loose Teas. They have a flavor protective inner coating and an air tight lid which cut off heat and moisture from the tea inside. These tins perform a surprisingly wonderful job of keeping your loose tea leaves fresh and crunchy. These tea tins are also extremely beautiful and artistically designed.  They are available in many colors and patterns, ranging from ivory white to vibrant red and golden. You can safely store your loose leaf tea in these tea canisters.

Loose leaf tea is what tea was originally meant to be- to be enjoyed right from the process of brewing it to leisurely sipping onto the drink from delicate tea ware. Tea bags are no doubt a short cut, but certainly take away flavor from your cup.

For all of those who might actually have to strain their memories to recall the last time they drank a cup of loose leaf tea, brewing this tea still appears to be a daunting task. Tea pot, Tea Cups, strainer, and waiting for the tea to infuse- it all seems too complicated and time consuming. Tea bags still seems the easier, quicker way out. But you just need to realize that you deserve a cup of great tea, and you are denying yourself a wonderful drink, just because you are too complacent about it. Go ahead and try treating yourself to a cup of loose leaf tea. You will be happily surprised to discover how easy it is to store, brew and serve. Not to mention its wonderfully fresh taste. It won’t take you too long before you are hooked on to it.
