If you’re curious to know more, join us to explore how herbal tea bags differ from loose-leaf tea, why some are better than others and tips to brew the perfect cup. We’ll break it all down. This guide will help you get the most from your herbal tea. Let’s begin with the basics of what herbal tea is.

what is herbal tea?

Interestingly enough, herbal tea doesn’t actually contain any tea leaves. The term “tea” is used simply because it’s made and enjoyed in much the same way as traditional teas.

Since they don’t contain tea leaves, it’s no surprise that herbal teas aren’t sourced from the Camellia sinensis plant. Instead, their flavours come entirely from natural ingredients such as fresh or dried herbs, flowers, fruits, roots, and spices. 

While the flavours are nice and diverse, the process of making these herbal teas is similar and simple. Sometimes it’s a single ingredient, other times a few are mixed together – either in herbal tea bags or kept loose. Either way, they are steeped in hot or cold water to get a nice herbal drink (or tisane). 

With so many ingredients to mix and match, the possibilities of flavour are endless. Varieties of herbal tea, like chamomile and peppermint, are always popular. They’re familiar, comforting and easy to enjoy at any time of day. Then there are some of the more unconventional varieties, like rhubarb & ginger and superfruit. This means there’s always a flavour that suits exactly what you’re keen on.

Difference between loose-leaf tea and teabags

Herbal tea bags and loose leaves both make a lovely drink. However, each one is associated with a slightly different experience. 

Loose-leaf tea allows the leaves, herbs, and other ingredients to fully expand. This gives a more layered taste and makes it more enjoyable. It’s a good option if you like experimenting with strength, portion size or steeping time. And also, if you don’t mind taking a little extra time making your drink.

Herbal tea bags, on the other hand, make it simple to enjoy the same natural ingredients with minimal effort. Just drop a bag in your cup, add hot water, and enjoy – simple as that. It’s true that many standard herbal tea bags can be cramped or filled with lower-grade ingredients. This limits the release of flavour. But when you choose herbal tea bags from brands that use quality ingredients and roomy bags – like Teapigs – you get the best of both worlds. Premium taste and total convenience! Teapigs herbal tea bags are filled with whole or large-cut herbs, flowers and other ingredients. They release wholesome flavour without the need for extra tools.

If you want to experience the convenience and taste, you can buy herbal tea online from Teapigs and get it delivered straight to your door.

Why should you buy herbal tea bags from teapigs?

Quality makes all the difference in tea – and that’s exactly what Teapigs focuses on. Many standard tea bags are small, flat and filled with low-quality ingredients rather than the real stuff. 

Teapigs does things differently. We use whole and top-quality ingredients – like real peppermint leaves, whole chamomile flowers and chunks of juicy fruit – so every time you brew, you get an outstanding drink with natural flavours.

Our herbal tea bags are also designed with care. They’re spacious, biodegradable mesh temples that give the ingredients room to properly infuse. That means you enjoy the quality of loose-leaf tea, but with the convenience of a tea bag. Just pop one in your cup, add hot water, and you’re ready to enjoy a delicious drink.

But taste is only one of the reasons. We make sure our tea bags do not hurt the planet. To make that happen, we use recyclable packaging and plant-based temples. As a certified B Corp, we’re proud to put people and the planet first.
