Is loose green tea healthier than tea bags?

Green tea is rich in antioxidants and beneficial polyphenols. We highly recommend drinking handcrafted, loose leaf green tea rather than industrially processed green tea bags. Not only to do tea bags use precious resources for a single use, but they also use industrial chemicals in their manufacturing, and bleaches, glues and often nano plastics.

With loose leaf green tea, you are just infusing pure tea leaves in your cup, not paper, or plastics or chemicals.

Which types of green tea do you stock?

We stock loose leaf green tea and matcha green tea powder. Our match range includes the finest ceremonial grade matcha to a more robust flavour to pair with milk - we call Latte Matcha.

Our loose leaf range includes classic Chinese whole leaf green tea, as well as very rare and premium green teas such as the Japanese Gyokuro Green Tea and Himalayan Spring from Nepal.

Do I need special teaware to brew loose green tea?

You can brew loose green tea using a loose leaf tea infuser or teapot, such as the Rare Tea Glass Teapot. Most green teas can be brewed at least twice and the second infusion is often considered better than the first.

For matcha you do need a whisk and a matcha bowl to prepare this green tea perfectly. It is not a strained infusion of the leaf, but a suspension of leaf powder in water.
