Should you ditch the bag and go loose? Why choose when you can have both.
A lot of people think that serving loose leaf is a chore. It's true - they do. It's easy and convenient to throw a tea bag into a pot and then pour boiling water over it. That is what most people do. I get it.
We wanted to make it easier for everyone to enjoy the convenience of a bag and enjoy loose tea. It's not just that it's easier to make a cuppa using a tea bag - it's also a lot easier to tidy up too. Just chuck it in the bucket. Nothing else to clean up. Done.
These were a couple of the reasons why we came up with our pyramid bag range - simply because it is more convenient to make tea this way - especially if you run a busy cafe. The bags come already measured with the right amount plus they contain great quality loose tea - none of that dust rubbish. It's easy.
But not all tea can be put in fancy bags - there is too much great tea out there that it's just not possible. That's why we came up with another solution - our do-it-yourself tea bags. They're a great and simple solution - just put in the amount of tea that you want - pull the drawstring and boom! You have your own tea bag filled with your favourite loose tea - made by you! Then you can chuck in the food waste bin afterwards - no filters to clean up. Job done.
I use them on a daily basis and am working my way through our loose tea supply. That's right - I do drink a lot of tea that we have in our warehouse. You didn't think I drank cheap bags from the supermarket when I have all this great tea at my disposal, now did you?
