Loose Leaf Tea - What is it and how to make it.

Hello Earthling friends,

At Area 51 Coffee all our teas are sold loose leaf. We get a lot of questions about what this is and what it means. Well, lets break it down...

As opposed to traditional tea bags which are usually filled with significantly crushed leaves, our tea comes in full leaves. In fact, this was the original way people enjoyed their tea. This is important because when the leaves are crushed to dust, they lose a lot of their flavor and benefits. Our teas maintain their taste and perks such as antioxidants and vitamins. With our tea leaves, you control the taste and how bold you want it. This means no more tea that is too weak or too strong. You decide the perfect taste that meets your desires steeping fresh tea leaves. One more perk, our tea cuts down on environmental waste when compared to traditional tea bags. 

This is just another way that Area 51 Coffee fulfills their promise to provide only the best premium, flavored drinks. Take a look at our Tea tab on the website. There are a variety of black and green teas to suit any personality. We even have matcha for purchase. So go ahead and treat yourself today.
