The leaves found in loose leaf teas are often much larger and contain fewer broken pieces than those found in bagged teas. The essential oils contained in tea leaves contribute to its heavenly flavor. If a tea leaf is broken and crushed into tiny pieces, like those found in bagged tea, the essential oils evaporate before you get to enjoy them. Tea leaves also need some room to move. Allowing some space for water circulation will contribute to enhanced flavor. Loose teas also generally offer you a larger selection of flavors and varieties. Dishwasher safe.
