Elevate Your Tea Experience with Premium Loose Leaf Teas

Tea has been around for thousands of years, and what people consider high-grade tea has changed substantially. As tea has traveled worldwide, each culture’s differing tastes and plants overlapped, leading to what we know today as the highest-quality varieties.

Nowadays, tea lovers judge the condition of tea by factors like when it was picked and the size of the leaves. Tea harvested in the spring is usually more expensive than tea harvested in the summer, and whole leaves are valued more than broken ones.

Judging tea often involves carefully inspecting the leaves, like checking whether they’re whole or broken. At Nelson’s Tea, we take the classic greats and make special blends that feature whole, unbroken leaves that have been dried, curled, or twisted. Our premium loose teas are generally unique and not found in many places. Lower-grade teas are created from pieces of broken leaves. The leaf’s size, color, and texture are also key indicators.

Premium Loose Leaf Teas: Perfect for All Occasions

Premium loose-leaf teas are an excellent choice for any occasion. Their wide range of rare flavors, from robust and hearty to light and floral, ensures there's a tea to match any mood, meal, or moment.

For celebrations, gifting a selection of premium teas or a tea subscription adds a personal and thoughtful touch. In quiet, everyday moments, these teas provide a comforting ritual. Take some time to pause and enjoy the subtle complexities of their taste and aroma. Whether a grand event or a cozy evening, premium loose-leaf teas upgrade any experience, making every sip memorable.
