How to brew loose tea?

As tea enthusiasts, you know that loose tea requires more preparation and you quickly end up with dishes to wash. We therefore offer a solution that allows for simple brewing, practical and hassle-free.

Tea bag, tea ball or teapot - which is the best method for brewing loose tea?

• Tea bags are very practical for brewing loose tea, they take up no space and require no washing as they are disposable. However, it is essential to choose unbleached ones, which is why we recommend using our empty tea bag which is also biodegradable. Perfectly suited for infusion, they leave enough space for the tea leaves so their flavors can fully develop. The bags also have the particular advantage of being able to brew very fine teas such as Rooibos, which passes through most other infusers.

• The mesh tea ball is a good alternative to the tea bag, but it is still not recommended to use metal as it metalizes and acidifies the tea. The tea ball is also too narrow, the water doesn't circulate enough and doesn't allow the leaves to infuse properly. It does have one advantage though: it's easy to clean.

• Finally, we have the teapot which is also very practical when you want to prepare a liter of tea, but it's really not advantageous when it comes to making just one cup.

As you can understand, for brewing loose tea, bags are really the most suitable option.
