Loose Leaf Green Tea
Loose leaf green teas produce heartier tasting brews and richer aroma. When you brew them, the flavor is extracted from the surface of the leaves. When you use a bag, the leaves have already been compressed, and very little flavor remains to extract during the steeping process. The bags usually contain inferior components, like stems and dust, while premium loose blends are produced from the whole plant.
The oils are removed from the leaves during the packaging process. These oils carry potent antioxidants that boost the immune system and fight free radicals. If you want to reap the benefits of green tea, it's better to prepare loose leaves and let them blossom in the cup. Loose blends are so much stronger than bags, and you can use them several times and produce consistently strong cups of tea.
Make Iced Beverages Using Flavored Loose Leaf Green Teas
If you're looking for a creative way to get your antioxidants, you can buy flavored blends, brew them in the traditional style and chill them for great-tasting iced beverages. Popular flavor infusions include jasmine, strawberry, mint, lemon and even coffee.
The Tea Farm is an online service that provides premium green teas from China, Japan, India and Sri Lanka. They are processed and graded according to where they were grown and how they were picked. The quality of their flavor is considered as well. You'll find a range of quality levels and free shipping when you buy $50 or more worth of products.
