I really wanted to know more about why loose leaf tea is much better. So I started researching and found out some really interesting facts about it.
The leaves used in most tea bags are actually the dust and fannings from broken tea leaves. so you're not actually getting the real product half of the time. In this form, the tea will have lost most of its essential oils and aroma. Most tea bags constrain the tea leaves, keeping them from expanding to their full flavour.
Tea leaves need rom to expand for a full-bodied flavour.
If I was to create tea bags for the loose leaf tea, which at the moment isn't my plan, but if I was they would be like this one. Biodegradable, allows a good water flow and there room for the leaves to expand.
At the moment I just want to sell the tea in bags, to then be used in a tea strainer of a tea pot, as I always think this tastes much better than any tea bag, even these kind.
Tea pots like this are exactly what I'm talking about. I think i would have to design a one cup strainer too. Like these for example-

| Something like this si really easy to use and to clean, could always put a design onto something like this. |

| As loose leaf tea becomes more and more popular, the designs are becoming more creative. |
