Earl Grey Black Tea - Loose Leaf

The short answer is yes BUT that is because most tea bags are made with bleached material, and are filled with cheap tea, fillers and low quality ingredients that are NOT good for health. If the ingredients do have any quality, it’s usually in a small tea bag, ground up and you will have to steep the tea for 4 to 5 minutes to get the flavor out.  Our tea bags are STUFFED with whole ingredients and are totally chemical free and compostable. You only have to steep the bag for 1 to 2 minutes to get a smooth flavor that will not have any bitterness.Some tea lovers also just prefer loose leaf tea so that they can make it themselves and appreciate the tea leaves, while also enjoying the varieties of beautiful tea ware that are found throughout Asian tea culture.

Each tea has varying steep times and the specific directions are on the bag of each one of our products. Generally, we recommend steeping for 1.5 to 2 minutes for the first steeping and 2.5 to 3 minutes or more for the second steeping. For a much stronger flavor, you can try up to 4 minutes but green, white and some oolong teas can become bitter if steeped too long.

All of our boxes are ZERO-WASTE! The wrappers that wrap our cookies and our Super-Sized Teabags are totally compostable.

Green and white teas have the least caffeine.  Oolong teas have more caffeine than green and white but vary depending on the type of oolong tea.  Red and Black teas have the most caffeine.
