Our loose teas typically come in three sizes: Sample (3-5 servings), Standard (2-3.5 oz), Medium (7-8 oz) and Bulk (14-16oz). All of our pouches have foil lining and they are resealable for optimum freshness.

Natural flavors are derived from real food sources, such as fruits, herbs, spices, and other plant materials. These flavors are extracted through methods like distillation, cold pressing, or fermentation to capture the essence of the ingredient without adding synthetic chemicals. A good example of natural flavor used in tea includes oil of bergamot in Earl Grey.

Unfortunately, there are limits in nature for flavoring, which means that not all flavor varieties are available in the form of "natural flavorings". Artificial flavors, on the other hand, are created in a lab using chemical compounds that replicate the taste of natural ingredients. However, whether artificial or natural, we generally ensure that only approved, high-quality nature-identical flavorings are used in our flavored tea blends.

Whole leaf teas consist of larger, intact leaves that retain more of their essential oils, which contribute to the tea’s aroma and richer flavor profile. These oils are often lost when the leaves are broken down for bagged tea, resulting in a more astringent and less complex flavor. To learn about how to brew loose tea, read more here.
