Why You Should Ditch The Tea Bags For Loose-Leaf Blends

By ANN MEYER
Tea is a popular beverage; while 70% of Americans use tea bags for convenience, loose-leaf blends offer superior control, quality, and environmental benefits.
Loose-leaf teas are customizable, as you have greater control over each cup. For instance, you can limit caffeine content with specific teas, like rooibos.
As they’re often hand-picked and carefully processed, loose teas are of superior quality. Larger leaves better retain the original plant's flavors and aromas.
In contrast, single-serving sachets often contain lower-grade tea dust, which can result in a bitter taste and has fewer health benefits.
Beyond the benefits of brewing loose-leaf tea, avoiding bagged tea also helps reduce environmental waste and plastic pollution.
