Types of Loose-Leaf Tea
Choosing tea should be simple and enjoyable, so we’ve grouped our loose-leaf collection into three easy categories. Each one highlights a different style and mood, making it easier to discover blends you’ll want to keep on hand. Find the flavor and feel that’s calling your name.
Bold and Smooth Loose-Leaf Tea
If you like a little strength in your cup, this is your section. Our black teas bring that bold, full-bodied flavor that pairs perfectly with mornings or a midday boost. Green teas give you a fresher, lighter taste with a crisp finish that’s easy to enjoy any time of day. Oolong sits right in the middle, offering smooth, layered notes that can be floral, toasty, or both, and those flavors shift beautifully with each steep.
Every blend in this category is made from high-quality loose leaves, carefully sourced to keep their natural oils and aroma intact for a rich, satisfying brew.
Naturally Caffeine-Free Loose-Leaf Tea
Sometimes you want the flavor without the buzz, and that’s where this category shines. We offer calming chamomile, refreshing peppermint, old school root beer, or delicate glass slipper, plus a variety of other blends you’ll enjoy exploring.
Rooibos, grown in South Africa, offers a naturally sweet, earthy taste that’s smooth and full of antioxidants. Both options are completely caffeine-free, so you can sip them in the morning, enjoy them after dinner, or brew a big pot for an all-day companion. Each blend is packed with natural aroma and color for a full sensory experience in every cup.
Light and Delicate Loose-Leaf Tea
There’s something special about a tea that’s soft and unhurried. Our white teas have a light sweetness with just a touch of floral, made from young buds that are handled as little as possible. Organic blends can be green, black, or herbal, but they’re all grown without synthetic pesticides. The result is a clean taste and ingredients you can feel good about sipping.
Whether you’re drawn to the strength of black tea, the calm of herbal blends, or the quiet elegance of white, there’s a category here that fits your tea style perfectly.

FAQ's
1. What do you mean by loose-leaf tea?
Loose-leaf tea is made from whole or large pieces of tea leaves instead of the tiny bits you see in tea bags. The tea leaves open up while they brew, which gives more flavor and aroma for fresher, more flavorful tea that feels a little more special than bagged tea.
2. Why loose-leaf over bagged tea?
Simply put, loose-leaf tea tastes better since the bigger leaves mean more oils and natural flavor stay in the tea. You can brew it exactly how you like: strong, light, or somewhere in between. And you get way more variety, from classic favorites to blends you can’t find in a box.
3. What are some of the best loose-leaf teas for energy or relaxation?
Black tea or oolong will give you a nice boost. For winding down, herbal blends like chamomile, lavender, or rooibos are great choices. Green tea is right in the middle, with a gentle lift and a fresh taste. It all comes down to what you’re in the mood for.
4. Is drinking loose-leaf tea good for you?
Yes. Loose-leaf tea is full of natural antioxidants and nutrients, and because it’s less processed than bagged tea, you get more of the good stuff your body wants and needs. Depending on the type, it can help you relax, give you energy, or just keep you hydrated in a way that feels comforting.
5. How do you prepare and brew loose-leaf tea?
Scoop about a teaspoon of tea into an infuser or teapot. Pour over hot water ( the temperature of the water will depend on the type of tea). Let it steep for a few minutes, take out the leaves, and enjoy. Play with the steep time until it’s just right for you.
6. Why does loose-leaf tea taste better than tea bags?
Loose-leaf tea is often preferred for being fresher and of higher quality. The larger, less processed leaves keep essential oils and flavor, and the tea leaves will expand during steeping, creating a fuller flavor. Loose-leaf tea also offers more variety and customization.
Because the leaves go through less processing, you won’t find unnecessary additives, and the flavor stays closer to what nature intended. That’s why many local tea shops and larger suppliers alike stick with loose-leaf — it keeps customers coming back for the flavor and quality they expect.
7. How do you get the most flavor out of loose-leaf tea?
For the tastiest loose-leaf hot tea, pour hot water over the whole tea leaves instead of spooning them, which ensures every part of the leaf gets saturated, thus maximizing flavor. Steeping time varies by tea type. Use a timer, clock, or tea timer to get it right. Once you get the hang of infusing tea, you can also estimate times based on personal preference. Adjusting the steeping time ensures a perfect brew. This is especially helpful when buying premium teas from wholesalers.
8. How many times can you use the same loose-leaf tea?
Depending on the tea type, leaf quality, preference, and brewing style, you can steep your favorite loose-leaf teas more than once. Reusing tea leaves is common and appreciated in Japanese tea culture. With each steeping, you may notice distinct flavor differences and new aromas. Some tea styles may taste better on the second, third, or fourth brew.
9. Can we use coffee filters for loose-leaf tea?
Coffee filters may not allow the tea leaves to expand fully, which can affect the flavor. Depending on the type of coffee filter you use, it can also affect the taste further. Tea infusers are designed for loose tea leaves, which gives optimal flavor extraction. You can also use a tea brewer designed to brew the perfect cup of tea.
