The Perfect Cup of Loose Leaf Tea
2 min read 1 Comment
Creating The Perfect Loose Leaf Brew...
It may appear that the world has gone coffee mad with a coffee shop on every corner, but here in the UK we are still a nation of tea lovers with tea being the number one hot beverage choice. In fact, three quarters of consumers drink at least one cup of tea every day*.
Traditional Black Tea
Black tea (specifically breakfast tea) is still the go to for most, but with the increased interest in the benefits of herbal tea and consumers increasingly sophisticate pallet, 2021 is set to see a rise in demand for tea choice both in the home and when out in cafes and restaurants (fingers crossed we get to enjoy a cup of our favourite tea in one soon!).
Fruit and Herbal Tea
Many herbal and fruit teas are rich in antioxidants and vitamins offering a great alternative to caffeinated hot drinks. With the wide range available, it’s clear to see why the love for herbal tea in on the rise. One of our most popular loose-leaf teas is peppermint, and it’s easy to see why. With it’s sweet and zesty flavour, it’s delicious and refreshing and can be enjoyed at any time of day. Many find that peppermint tea is the perfect choice to help them wind down, relax and escape the stresses of everyday life.
Our Guide To The Perfect Cup Of Loose Tea
Here at the Natural Health Market, we predict that brewing your own tea with loose leaf tea will become increasingly popular this year with consumers being able to create their own custom brews using their favourite flavours and brew them to their own unique taste.
So how do to create the perfect brew? Here are our top tips!
- When you have picked your tea (our selection of loose leaf teas can be found here...), grab your infuser or tea pot and pop the kettle on.
- Boil the kettle – remember to always use freshly drawn water – never re-boil water as fresh water will give a fresher, brighter flavour. Only boil the amount of water you need to avoid water wastage.
- Use the correct temperature for optimum flavour, different types of tea react differently to the temperature of the water. Some teas require a cooler temperature to avoid ‘cooking’ the tea. We recommend around 80 degrees for white and green teas and just under 100 degrees for black and herbal teas.
- Allow around 3 minutes to brew or until your required strength is achieved.
- Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Distinctly unique and refreshing .
How easy to get superfood goodness than in a cup of tea!
I love the hibiscus teabags as they come , slightly tart taste which I really enjoy . One or two a day is part of my routine , I drink it rather than taking a supplement.

The best tasting ginger tea
Why? Because it is not a mix with lemon or other tastes, it uses only real root ginger and so the taste is superb. There is no better ginger tea on the market.

The best peppermint teabags 😍
These tea bags are fabulous. The taste is just right, unlike some I’ve bought before that taste too fragrant and false. Delicious at bedtime with a bit of ground ginger and cinnamon, lemon juice and honey. Makes for the perfect night’s sleep.

Tasty alternative to coffee
Altho' I do like my coffee,some times it's good to vary my routine. I like to take Yerba Mate tea since it gives me the spur without the buzz that can feel a bit too
much from coffee. Also, it has a smooth taste, very drinkable.

Yerba Mate Tea - Loose Leaf
The best peppermint tea
I’ve been drinking peppermint tea for years - I suffer with IBS & I find it to be one of the best things to calm my tummy and settle it. This peppermint is by far the BEST I’ve ever tried. It’s a firm favourite and we won’t be going back to any other brand! You can see the leaves in the tea bags - not just ‘dust’ & the taste is far superior than any others we’ve tasted. We can often get two cups out of one tea bag too as it’s full flavoured. Simply love - highly recommend these tea bags!

Amazing herbal tea - simply the best!
My partner and I came across these teas recently & although they’re a little more in price than other brands, the reviews were excellent & we drink a lot of herbal tea so thought we’d give them a go. WOW - we’re so glad we did!! These teas are amazing!! We love that the tea bags aren’t full of ‘dust’ like many others - you can actually see the whole plant leaves & buds - simply the best we’ve tried - (we especially love the chamomile, peppermint & turmeric varieties & we’ve been re- ordering regularly!) we hadn’t tried this one so ordered - it’s our new favourite ! This tea is very refreshing - I like a cup before bed & I find it very settling on my tummy (which is prone to getting cramps) & I often drink throughout the day. I find one tea is strong enough to re-use too. Highly recommend!
