Do these contain whole tea leaves? How does the quality compare to loose leaf?

Quality was mediocre compared to some Mighty Leaf or Stash or Tazo or Teavana. To me, wasn't worth the money. But teas vary in quality by batch and variety so if you want to try it go for it.

We only bought one canister so far, but the tea is very good. Our batch has only a few small "twigs," I believe it's a high quality tea. I wouldn't say it had "lots."

Ruth, they are not. The handsewn tea leaves are organic teas and eatable flowers. They are beautful to watch and taste wonderful. Hope you enjoy.

All of mine have strings.... Probably just a manufacturing error. Doubt that will affect the tea quality.

We keep all our tea bags in our box . don't know if loose tea would work. Try a small batch to see if it works. I think it would.

these are dried, as in tea you buy in pkgs. at your grocery store. makes delicious tea. Fresh flowers would mildew and rot.

I would say the tea is 95% twigs with a few bits of leaves included. It's a different taste than either "regular" green or black tea, and takes a little getting used to, but the twigs are loaded with calcium, so it's worth the adjustment period. I now enjoy it very much. I hope this helps.

each of the tea bags is individually wrapped. Not sure if they sell replacement or additional bags of tea but you can surely buy your own individual bags of tea at your own supermarket for refills. Perhaps an Assortment of different teas can be found in various supermarkets or even smaller grocery outlets

Some of the teas have caffeine. The fruit teas are caffeine free and they are excellent tasting teas. I really enjoyed them.

Olga - thanks for your question. Our infuser is designed for loose leaf tea. In some cases if your are using ground teas or fine teas with herb or other flavoring that is small you will get some debris in your cup. Also some smoked teas that are brittle and break into small pieces may also have some issues. Hope that helps.

Their website says they are chlorine free, bleached with oxygen.http://www.teaforte.com/store/tea-accessories/other/tea-filters/

I drink a lot of tea but never figured how many cups per lb. All loose tea should be kept in air tight glass or metal containers. Never in plastic. I use small jars and put sone of the tea in the rest goes in the freezer. That way it lasts for a long time and is always fresh.

I ordered them for loose leaf tea, but I would say they are definitely NOT air tight! For the price...they are decent containers, but I'm buying new containers for tea...one by one as I save for them! hope this helps!

This is 100% organic Japanese powdered green tea leaves. Nothing else added.

I used/triedthis tea a few months ago, at the time researched the ingredients,however it details them on the package clearly and i do not recall exactly. It is mild to the system(for me) and was nicely packaged...and worked ok..but expensive for what i hoped/felthow it would work..1-10 (i give it a 4) likely will not pay so much for Tea!

Tests of Chinese teas have consistently shown them to be inferior to Japanese teas in terms of heavy metal (especially lead) contamination. The fact that it is organic has absolutely nothing to do with lead content.

They are lose tea leaves. This is what the Cheesecake Factory used to serve. Last summer they changed to another brand that is similar but I personally don't care for it. I think the Paradise brand is way better.
