Single Herb Tea (Loose)
WHAT IS LOOSE LEAF TEA? Whole, loose-leaf tea refers to tea that is made up of whole, unbroken leaves, in sharp contrast to teabags that usually feature lower grade teas composed of dust and fannings. It's important to know that teas that take up a larger surface area, such as tea bags, typically result in more of the leaves' precious essential oils evaporating, depriving the tea of its full, rich flavour, leaving it dull and stale.

What is Loose Leaf Tea?
Whole, loose-leaf tea refers to tea that is made up of whole, unbroken leaves, in sharp contrast to teabags that usually feature lower grade teas composed of dust and fannings. It's important to know that teas that take up a larger surface area, such as tea bags, typically result in more of the leaves' precious essential oils evaporating, depriving the tea of its full, rich flavour, leaving it dull and stale. This is why real tea connoisseurs use only whole, loose-leaf tea, to benefit from the full complexity of a tea’s flavour, as well as its nutrient content and medicinal benefits.
Loose-leaf Single Herb Teas – Benefits, and Disadvantages
Tradition and the irresistible experience of the tea ritual are two key factors that explain why tea aficionados typically snub teabags in favour of loose-leaf whole-leaf teas. Equally important, is the fact that teabags often feature tea blends that have been “standardized” according to a set price, flavour profile, and of course, consistent availability. This results in a very predictable tea flavour and aroma, and a “ho-hum” experience at best. Loose-leaf teas, on the other hand, are wild harvested and offer a unique flavour profile, aroma and appearance, which can vary from year to year and season to season. This, of course, is as close to nature as you can get, and greatly adds to the overall tea sipping experience.
Loose-Leaf Single Herb Tea and Flavour
Anyone who knows tea knows that the loose-leaf format provides a much more complex flavour profile than teabags. Another advantage of whole, loose leaf tea is that since it is the highest grade of tea, it also has the strongest notes, be they floral, nutty, sweet, buttery, spicy, smoky, fruity, grassy, vegetal, or earthy, according to the herb(s) and/or plant(s) used. It's also worth mentioning that because of their boldness, whole leaf teas will last through multiple steeps, so you get more bang for your buck.
Preparing a Perfect Cup of Loose-Leaf Tea
Loose-leaf tea is brewed by placing the tea leaves directly in hot water, or in a tea ball or strainer, and steeping the tea long enough for its full flavour to infuse into the water. If the tea in question comes from the Camellia sinensis tea plant, black, green, white tea, and others, then you will likely steep it anywhere from 2 to 3 minutes. On the other hand, if you are brewing an herbal tea, you’ll want to wait anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to ensure you obtain the full flavour profile, as well as allow all of the active ingredients in the tea to be released into the water.
When steeping loose-leaf tea, there should be plenty of room for the tea leaves to absorb water and expand as they infuse. This allows the water to flow through the leaves and extract a wide range of vitamins, minerals, flavours, and aromas from the leaves.
