When it comes to green tea,

Please Please Please choose loose leaves over teabags! Four reasons why...

More often than not, green tea tied up in a teabag just isn’t the best quality.

You’ve probably heard of tea dust (not

exactly dirt but still it’s swept off the floor in processing rooms), which is

that stuff blown off during

the making of good wholesome loose leaves. This dust

isn’t bad for you but...

if you are drinking green tea for a great taste and juicy health benefits, we wouldn’t bag it and tag it.

On the taste front, it’s the equivalent of drinking Néscafe instant for your cup of coffee.

Sometimes it works... as a last resort... on a boat with nothing else around but you and the high seas.

The green tea found in that little box of teabags from your grocery store or supermarket is often from China or India, not Japan. What’s the difference?

These areas pan-fire the leaves after plucking them, making the tea tougher so you need hotter water which yields a higher caffeine kick and ensures a big, bitter bite to your taste buds.

In contrast, Japanese tea is steamed after plucking, so the freshness and goodness are locked in tight.

Sweet!

What about the bags themselves?

Most are made from man-made materials loaded with bleaches and chemicals.

Enter hot water and now we’re talking a chemical soup in your cup.

Yuck

(the biggie)

Tea leaves need to

in your teapot so they can give you all they’ve got!

When your precious leaves are trapped in a pokey little space, they can’t stretch out and get comfortable.

Free your leaves...

all of their vibrant flavors,

so that they can

alluring aromas and yes,

multiple health benefits!
