A simple definition of loose leaf tea is tea that does not come prepackaged in tea bags. Because the leaves are not crammed into a tea bag, the tea maintains a higher quality and aroma while offering the best possible health benefits. The drinker places the beautiful tea leaves inside of a steeping ball, infuser basket, french press, tea strainer, or some other infuser to prepare the tea. Loose leaf tea can also be steeped more than once in the same sitting.
