Flavored Superior Gourmet

If you are a tea lover of any degree, no doubt the question of loose leaf or tea bag has come up at one time or another. Supermarkets have been selling tea bags and selling them well for as long as most of us can remember. There are countless brands and flavors of tea bags available from a variety of different places. But if you have had the opportunity to try loose leaf tea, most will agree that it is superior in almost every way.

Both types of tea start off in the same place. They are tea leaves, harvested in a field. Depending on which type of tea is being made, the leaves will then be processed. When they have reached the appropriate level of fermentation, loose leaf teas are then packaged, shipped and sold to you.

With tea bags, the leaves are broken up to the point of turning to dust, or 'fannings.' During this process, a lot of the essential oils that make loose teas so flavorful can be lost. As far as flavor goes, it's also important for water to circulate around the leaves. This obviously isn't as easy within a cramped little bag.

So, the flavor aspect isn't really up for debate. If you enjoy the taste of tea, it's the leaves all the way. Next, comes the topic of health. Everyone knows by now that tea is a healthful drink. There are a whole host of health benefits associated with drinking it. But, as with flavor it is the leaves that yield the most health benefits.

Because it is brewed in it's natural state and hasn't had the life pounded out of it, the antioxidant levels will be much higher. That's not to say drinking tea from tea bags has no health benefits. It's just that loose leaf varieties are generally healthier.

Perhaps the only benefit that tea bags have over loose leaf tea is the convenience factor. It takes no time at all to toss a bag into some hot water. And there are some pretty high quality varieties available. The choice is ultimately yours, but for most real tea connoisseurs, nothing beats a fresh brewed cup of loose leaf tea.

If you'd really like to spoil yourself with a superior quality tea, you can find both loose leaf and bagged teas at affordable prices when you click here now: Taste Indulgence Teas
