Loose leaf tea consists of whole or large pieces of dried tea leaves and botanicals, rather than being broken down into small particles like tea bags. This allows for better water circulation, fuller flavor extraction, and a more premium tea experience.

Use approximately 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 8 oz of water. Heat water to the appropriate temperature for your tea type (typically 160-212°F depending on the blend), steep for 3-5 minutes, then strain. You can re-steep most loose leaf teas 2-3 times for additional infusions.

You'll need a teapot or infuser to hold the loose leaves while steeping. Popular options include mesh infusers, tea balls, infuser baskets, or a simple strainer. A kettle with temperature control is helpful for brewing different tea types at their optimal temperatures.
