Unlock the Flavor: Why Loose Leaf Tea Might Be Your New Brew

A recent short video by 'Teakle Your Fancy' highlights the significant differences between tea bags and loose leaf teas, challenging the common perception of tea bags as a superior or equally good option. The creator explains that standard tea bags often contain 'tea dust and broken leaves,' which possess a higher surface area, leading to a more bitter taste and a loss of the complex flavors found in quality loose leaf varieties. The video advocates for the simplicity of loose leaf tea, even suggesting a 'grandpa style' method where leaves are directly added to a glass with hot water. This approach, according to the creator, offers a richer and more nuanced tea experience, debunking the myth that loose leaf tea is inconvenient.
