What is loose leaf tea and why is it better than tea bags?

Tea bags have been a staple to the modern worlds tea diet for the last hundred years, but the reality is the first people to enjoy tea had it right. Throw some leaves into some warm water, let it steep and enjoy.

With tea bags there are definite draw backs which will prevent you from enjoying your cup of tea as much as you should.

Here are the top reasons why tea bags are not as good as loose leaf tea:

1. There is additional flavor with tea bags, metal from the stable, paper from the bag, or that weird taste that string puts into the water.

2. Loose leaf tea is cheaper than tea bags when purchased in bulk.

3. You can adjust how much tea you have in a steeping, versus adding more tea bags, which will add more weird flavors like point 1.
