What is whole-leaf tea?

Whole-leaf tea refers to tea made with leaves that are still intact. This is also referred to as loose-leaf tea, since whole leaves are more likely to stay that way when shipped loosely (in bulk).

Why does size matter?

Whole-leaf tea is superior in flavor to tea that uses crushed leaves, because the true taste of tea is only released when leaves fully expand in water.
