Why loose leaf tea?

Loose leaf tea means that tea leaves are in the packaging and not in a tea bag. The tea leaves contain the best aromas and flavors because they have not yet been processed into small pieces, as is the case with pre-packaged tea. This ensures that you can drink the best flavors and the freshest tea. Exactly as it is meant to be.

How to brew tea with loose leaves?

Because loose leaf tea consists of broken or whole leaves and cannot be put directly into a cup, you need a tea filter bag. Depending on the type of tea, you will know how many grams of loose tea to use. You put the leaves in the tea filter and then drop it into your cup of hot water. The tea leaves expand so that the water can move freely through the leaves. This will spread all flavors, aromas, vitamins, and minerals through the water. The water temperature and how long the leaves should remain in the water vary per type of tea. When the indicated time has passed, remove the tea filter from your cup and enjoy truly fresh tea.

Loose leaf tea from Kaldi

Kaldi offers a range of teas consisting of various types and flavors. The types are: green tea, black tea, rooibos, herbal tea, and fruit tea. For each type, we have our own unique flavors. One flavor, for example, is fruity, while another is spicier. Discover the benefits and our flavors per tea type below.

Green tea

Green tea is the least processed type of tea. This ensures that the flavor, vitamins, and minerals remain abundant in the leaves. This type of tea is harvested three times a year between April and August. After harvesting, the leaves are dried, cooled, and dried again. This is done using the sun or an oven and a refrigerator. Then the leaves are sieved and packaged. The biggest benefits of loose green tea are:

Good for the heart and blood vessels
Helps improve skin problems
Reduces stress and fatigue
Stimulates brain function

Black tea

Black tea originates from the Camellia Sinensis, which is native to China. It is important for the shrub to be planted in fertile soil with a warm and humid climate. This allows the aromas of the leaves to develop better. The tea leaves are picked and bruised. Juices and enzymes are then released, which cause the leaves to turn black. Finally, the leaves are dried and then packaged. The biggest benefits of loose black tea are:

Lowering blood sugar levels
Reducing the risk of a stroke
Improving concentration
Improving heart health

Rooibos tea

Rooibos contains virtually no caffeine or tannins and is therefore not considered a true tea. Because rooibos contains no tannins, the taste of the tea is less bitter. Rooibos has only been used to make tea since the 20th century and originated in South Africa. The biggest benefits of loose rooibos tea are:

Rich in vitamins and minerals
Combating inflammation
Contains substances that are good for your skin
Improving heart health

Herbal tea

Herbal tea consists of a mixture of herbs, spices, and/or dried plants. It does not contain leaves from tea plants. However, this makes herbal tea caffeine-free and very healthy. Many different herbal tea variations can be made because there is no need to consider a tea plant. It is important with herbal tea that the water is not too hot, as the substances will be lost before you drink the tea. The biggest benefits of herbal tea are:

Improving digestion
Calming effect on the nervous system
Boosting immunity
Falling asleep faster

Fruit tea

Fruit tea usually consists of a base of hibiscus leaf, apple, and rosehip peel. By adding aromas and fruits, a delightful taste is created. Because no tea plant is used and the production process is relatively simple, many flavors of fruit tea can be made. The biggest benefits of fruit tea are:

Contains many vitamins and antioxidants
Caffeine-free (unless mixed with black or green tea)
Boosting immunity
Positive effect on almost all body functions
