What is the difference between loose leaf tea and tea bags?

Loose leaf tea is whole or large pieces of leaf with room to unfurl in the water. Most tea bags hold small broken pieces and dust, which steep fast but flat. Whole leaves give a fuller flavor, hold up to a second and third steep, and let you see what you are drinking.

How much loose leaf tea do I use per cup?

About one tablespoon per 8 oz of water for most of our blends; some dense teas like rolled oolongs use a teaspoon. Each product page lists the exact amount, water temperature and steep time for that tea.

Which loose leaf tea should I start with?

If you drink coffee, start with a black tea like English Breakfast or Earl Grey Creme. If you want something lighter, try a green tea or a jasmine. For a caffeine free cup, Egyptian Chamomile or Pacific Coast Mint. The Classic Tea Sampler Pack lets you taste several before you commit to a full tin.

Do I need special teaware for loose leaf tea?

No. Any infuser, a teapot with a built in strainer, or a paper filter bag works. If you want one tool, an infuser basket that sits in your mug is the simplest place to start.

How should I store loose leaf tea?

Sealed, away from light, heat, moisture and strong smells. An airtight tin in a cupboard is ideal. Most loose leaf teas keep their flavor for a year or more stored this way; green and white teas are best within six months of opening.
