Everything You Need to Know About Loose Leaf Tea

What is Loose Leaf Tea?

Loose leaf tea refers to any tea that is not enclosed within a teabag. Tea is classified into various grades, including whole leaf, broken leaf, fannings, and dust. Generally, loose leaf tea comprises higher-quality grades, such as whole leaf or broken leaf tea.

Loose Leaf or Tea Bags?

Trying to decide which option is best? The choice largely depends on personal preference. Tea bags offer convenience—simply select a teabag, brew, and discard it without the need to measure or strain the leaves.

Conversely, loose leaf tea requires a little more effort but comes with distinct advantages. As the leaves are not restricted within a bag, they have more space to expand, resulting in better infusion and a richer flavour. It also allows for greater control over the quantity used, offering a more customised tea-drinking experience.

Can Loose Leaf Tea Be Reused?

A significant benefit of loose leaf tea is that it can be re-steeped, particularly when it is unflavoured. Depending on the variety, the leaves may be reused two or three times, with each infusion delivering a subtly different taste. This makes loose leaf tea highly cost-effective, providing multiple cups from the same leaves while offering a range of flavours.

Does Loose Leaf Tea Expire?

Loose leaf tea does have a shelf life, but it does not expire quickly. Most teas remain fresh for six to twelve months, and when stored correctly, they can last for two years or more. The longevity depends on the type of tea; fruit and floral blends tend to lose their freshness sooner, whereas white and green teas last longer. Pure black teas have the most extended shelf life.

That said, dried tea leaves do not spoil in the same way fresh food does—similar to dried herbs like oregano or pepper. While older tea may lose some of its aroma and potency, it remains safe to drink. The key to preserving freshness is proper storage: keep tea away from air, light, moisture, and strong odours. Some varieties, such as matcha, should be refrigerated to maintain their flavour.

Conclusion

Loose leaf tea is a fantastic choice for those who appreciate quality and customisation in their tea experience. While it requires a bit more effort compared to teabags, it offers superior flavour, the ability to re-steep leaves, and excellent value for money. With proper storage, loose leaf tea can be enjoyed for an extended period, making it a worthwhile investment for tea enthusiasts.
