It’s generally accepted that tea is good for you. But did you know that loose leaf tea can actually be even better for you, and more flavorful, than it’s sister in the teabag? Outlined below are a few reasons why the tea blenders at Caribbean Cure only use the highest quality loose leaf tea in all of our tea tin infusions.
1. Loose Leaf Tea is more Nutritious and is a Healthier Option
Because our tea is of a higher-grade tea than those in bags, loose leaf also has more nutritional potency and produces stronger flavor and a more authentic tea experience. Most tea bags constrain the tea leaves, keeping them from expanding. Brewing tea in its loose leaf form allows the hot water to infuse every inch of a whole leaf tea and extract a wider range of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, flavors and aromas from the leaves. Because loose leaf is more potent, it also allows the tea to be more functional, meaning you will achieve better results such as weight-loss, increased energy and reduced bloating.
2. Loose Leaf Natural Tea is typically Fresher
Typical tea bags are produced on an industrial scale and may sit in a warehouse or on a shelf for a long time before you ever get them. These low-grade leaves are usually picked, processed, and packaged by machines overseas. In contrast, Caribbean Cure natural teas are carefully hand-selected and crafted by tea masters. We then hand-blend and package using small-batch manufacturing techniques into our tea tins assuring that you get fresh handcrafted tea in every cup that you steep
3. Loose Leaf Tea Infusions have a richer flavour
Loose leaf tea uses the whole leaf where the leaves in most teabags are actually the “dust and fanning” from broken tea leaves. This is a huge compromise in quality from full leaf tea. Finely broken tea leaves have lost most of their essential oils and aroma. When steeped, they release more tannins than whole leaf tea, resulting in bitter astringent brews. With loose leaf tea, you are assured a better tasting cup of tea!
Our Loose Leaf contains no preservatives, no additives, no artificial flavours
Our whole loose leaf natural teas provide you with more pure flavor, rich aromas, natural antioxidants, and palette pleasure than the tiny leaf bits and stale tea dust in most mass-produced tea bags.
