Loose Leaf vs Tea Bags: Which Is Better Value?
Loose leaf or tea bags? Here is how they compare on flavour, cost per cup and waste, plus how to make the switch.
- Leaf size: loose leaf is whole or cut leaf with room to unfurl; many bags hold fine “dust”.
- Waste: no bag, no staple; spent leaves can go in the compost.
- How to switch: use an infuser, teapot, or reusable bags. See our guide to brewing loose-leaf herbal tea.
