Grades of tea can get pretty technical, but to save you time, we’ve simplified it.
Dust & Fanning
The teabags you buy at the grocery store contain dust and fanning grades of tea. Brands that sell this tea must crush the leaves when packaging into tea bags.
Broken & Loose Leaf
You can find broken leaf or whole leaf tea at your local health-focused grocery store or online. Whole leaf tea, also known as loose leaf tea, is your best choice for flavor, quality, and health benefits.
Brands that sell broken leaf teas use a spacious tea bag. Tea is still “broken,” but less so than dust or fanning grades.
Whole leaf tea, also known as loose leaf tea, comes in “bulk” form, such as a bag or tin. Loose leaf tea is better for you, the environment, and your wallet! Plus, it’s tastier!
