Loose tea is of tremendously higher quality than any bagged tea. This is a fact that all green tea is loose tea. There’s no great tea in teabags. I realize there are some tea bag manufactures sputtering with indignation and getting red in the face right now. By great tea I mean competition level or world-class tea. There are no bags that equal the quality of the best loose-leaf teas.
This is not to say that all tea bags have a poor quality in them, far from it. There are many tea bags that have good tea in them and of course not all loose leaf is great or even good tea. It should be noted that at some point personal taste enters the equation. You may find that you may tend to like a particular inexpensive leaf and there is nothing wrong with that.
But the fact remains that the best quality tea bag is nowhere near the best quality loose-leaf tea.

In addition to better quality and higher profit margins, there are some other good reasons to market and sell loose leaf tea. In fact with loose-leaf teas it is very easy and affordable to create custom and proprietary blends, signature items that are absolutely unique to your customer’s business. With tea bags there is a huge economy of sale necessary that makes it difficult and much more costly to create proprietary blends.

Again it may be difficult to establish the exact percentage of Darjeeling and other tea in a blend.

A few years ago, it is said that a lady from Scotland had rung up the Indian tea Board Office on Oxford Street, London, to enquire about the best available Darjeeling tea in the U.K. market. Since he was a frequent visitor to London, a Tea Board official promised to take her shopping the next time she visited the city. The lad accepted the offer as soon thereafter arrived in London. – She and the official set off shopping. They went to a prestigious departmental store. The tea counter was located. The best Darjeeling tea was asked for and produced.
