Premium Loose Leaf Tea – The Purest Form of Brewing
Experience tea as it was meant to be enjoyed. Our whole leaf collection offers superior aroma, flavor, and quality compared to tea bags, perfect for traditional Persian brewing.
Whole Leaf Format
Why Loose Leaf Tea Is the Connoisseur's Choice
Tea bags often contain broken leaves, dust, or fannings that lose flavor quickly. Premium loose leaf tea, on the other hand, consists of whole or large broken leaves that retain essential oils and aromas. This format allows the leaves to fully expand during brewing, releasing a richer, more complex flavor profile. For those who appreciate the ritual of measuring, steeping, and pouring, loose leaf is the only authentic choice.
Superior Flavor
Whole leaves preserve natural oils, offering the whole leaf tea benefits of deeper aroma and longer-lasting taste compared to bags.
Traditional Brewing
Perfect for traditional brewing tea methods using a Persian pot (Qoori), samovar, or infuser, allowing full leaf expansion.
Eco-Friendly
Loose leaf generates less waste than single-use tea bags, making it a sustainable choice for high quality tea leaves lovers.
The Heart of Persian Tea Culture
In Iran, tea is traditionally brewed using loose leaves in a small pot placed over a samovar or kettle. This method, known as Persian tea culture, relies on the quality of the leaf to produce a rich, dark concentrate (Ghoveh) that is diluted to taste. Loose leaf tea is essential for this process because it withstands long steeping times without becoming overly bitter, allowing the perfect color and strength to develop gradually.
Loose Leaf vs. Tea Bags: What's the Difference?
The main difference lies in the leaf size and quality. Tea bags often contain "dust" or small fragments that brew quickly but lack complexity. Premium loose leaf tea uses larger leaves that unfurl slowly, releasing flavors in layers. This means you can often steep loose leaf multiple times (especially green or oolong), getting more value from each gram compared to a single-use bag.
How to Brew Loose Leaf Perfectly
Use one teaspoon of leaves per cup. For black tea, use boiling water (100°C). For green or delicate teas, use slightly cooler water (80°C). Allow enough space for the leaves to expand in the pot or infuser. Steep for 3–5 minutes for black tea, or 2–3 minutes for green. Cover the pot to trap heat and aroma, ensuring every cup reflects the high quality tea leaves you chose.
