Why chose our loose leaf tea versus traditional tea bags?
	
		
The high quality whole leaves preserve the essential oils and aroma that make tea so wonderfully flavorful.
		
The leaves in most bags are the "dust and fannings" from broken leaves, meaning they release more tannins which can result in a bitter, astringent brew.
		
The material, shape and size of a tea bag can adversely affect the flavor.

Directions
	
Tea leaves need room to expand and unfurl once boiling water is poured over them. Be sure to use a large, roomy tea ball. Or, to enjoy, pour 6 ounces simmering water (185 degrees preferred) over one teaspoon of tea. Steep 4 to 5 minutes, strain and serve immediately.
	
	
	
Suggested uses
