Review: Teavana

Tea drinkers have never been able to agree on which is better bagged tea, or loose tea. It is commonly known that the stuff in a tea bag is broken leaves, stems and sometimes dust while with loose tea you have whole tea leaves, bigger leaves than in a tea bag. Some loose tea blends also have the tea buds on them, such as with white teas. Bagged teas won't provide the same health benefits as the loose tea. While it is bagged tea has crushed leaves it looses the benefits. Antioxidants, catechins, and plant polyphenols release in a greater number so having them whole in loose tea provides a better health benefit.

Loose tea has a different taste to it. It tastes fresher, floral and has an aroma that you wouldn't get with bagged teas. There are more natural oils in loose tea because it is whole leaves instead of broken leaves that it provides a better taste and better aroma. Many people think loose tea is more expensive than bagged teas, but that is not true. There are sites that offer loose tea for a reasonable price such as Teavana. Teavana is a company that strives to make their customers happy with the best loose tea they can provide. Their names explains their goal of being tea heaven. The teavana website says it was born because the company wanted to introduce people to "the aromas, textures, and beneficial qualities of loose leaf teas while enlightening them with the history and variety of teas available."

Teavana wants to provide customers with the healthy lifestyle of loose tea. They offer a wide variety of teas from white tea to rooibos (South African tea) and mate (Argentina) teas along with other tea products like cups, pots, and more. There are also different flavors and blends giving you the ability to try different aromas and tastes. Prices begin at roughly 10 dollars for 2 ounces of loose tea. It may not sound like a lot, but it is when you think of how much you use. You put just a pinch of tea in the infuser and let it set for a couple of minutes to get the best flavor of the tea. With any company there are sales and clearances of items in stock.

Teavana introduces tea lovers to a new experience other than general green, white, red, and black teas with flavoring. Teavana teas have all natural flavors that can be tasted. The longer you let it steep, the better it tastes while other teas such as bagged tea gets a stale strong taste.
