Why Loose Leaf Tea is Better Than Teabags
We all love a good cup of tea. It's there when we wake up in the morning, when family and friends pop in for a chat, and during those quiet moments when only tea will do.
But most of us don’t think twice before boiling the kettle and reaching for the teabags. The thing is, there’s a better cup of tea waiting for you, and all it takes is one small change.
Switching to loose leaf tea doesn’t just make your tea taste better. It helps you discover what real tea looks, smells, and feels like. It’s also better for the environment, better for you, and easier to make than you might think.
Here’s why you should ditch the teabags and make the switch to loose leaf tea.
1. A Better Flavour
Loose leaf tea is, quite simply, better quality. The leaves are whole, rolled or torn, not crushed into dust like in most teabags. This means the tea leaves have more room to unfurl and release their full flavour when infused in hot water.
You’ll taste the difference from your very first sip, richer, smoother, and the most amazong flavour.

2. A World of Choice
When you look at most supermarket shelves and you’ll likely see rows of the same thing: English Breakfast in every brand.
With loose leaf tea, the variety and choice opens up. You’ll still find popular blends like English Breakfast and Earl Grey, but you’ll also discover unique and characterful teas like Darjeeling, Keemun, Gunpowder Green, Dragonwell, Chamomile, and Rooibos.
Whether you prefer bold black teas, delicate green teas, or caffeine-free herbal blends, there’s a whole world of flavour to explore.
3. Plastic-Free and Planet-Friendly
Most commercial teabags contain microplastics, glues, or bleached paper, things you defiently don’t want in your cup, body or in the compost.
Loose tea is naturally plastic-free and a brilliant way to reduce waste. After brewing, simply pop the used leaves into your compost bin or sprinkle them around your plants, your garden will thank you.
4. Surprisingly Easy to Make
Loose tea might seem more complicated than a teabag, but it’s just as simple. All you need is an infuser to hold the leaves.
Infusers come in many shapes and sizes, from simple tea balls to large stainless steel filters that fit inside mugs or teapots. Many teapots even come with built-in infusers for easy brewing.
No mess. No fuss. Just great tea, made easy.
