What is loose leaf green tea?

Loose leaf green teas are made from the leaves of the tea plant, which are gently processed after harvesting to preserve their natural color, aroma, and character. This results in a brew that remains light, fresh, and full of subtle flavor notes.

The loose leaf form allows the leaves to unfurl freely during brewing, leading to a richer aroma and more complex flavor than many bagged teas.

Key characteristics of loose leaf green teas:

  • fresh and delicate brew,
  • wide variety of flavors,
  • can be brewed multiple times,
  • visible quality of whole or cut leaves,
  • a richer brewing experience.
