Loose leaf tea or bagged tea?

Do you like loose leaf tea or bagged tea better?

I think loose leaf tea does taste of higher quality. But they dont brew the same. People tend to use twice the amount of water for bagged tea so its not bitter at all. They just brew it longer. Thats great for country sweet tea. 

Loose leaf tea has the high quality of bitterness that is a aquired taste. Great for hot tea and strong tea. 

I dont think bagged tea and loose leaf tea defeat one another. People use them for different brewing methods. 

I don't care that much for tea in general.

bagged

Loose leaf is superior in every single way. Anyone who claims otherwise is ignorant or contrarian.

Bagged. Never had loose tea.ArmoredCore55

loose leaf is better, but bagged tea is easier 

Preferably loose leaf but either is fine. Just brewed some up and am drinking it now.

[QUOTE="Wolfetan"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]My tea is very good. I just like a little added sweetness. I drink asian teas without.

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="Wolfetan"] Don't put milk in your tea. Wolfetan

[QUOTE="Wolfetan"][QUOTE="SolidSnake35"] Too strong without.SolidSnake35

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="Wolfetan"] Better tea is the answer to your question.Wolfetan

[QUOTE="Wolfetan"][QUOTE="SolidSnake35"] What if this tea tastes good with milk? It's pretty much the only tea of choice in England. I've bought various green and red teas in China. They don't need milk added for sure but... they're completely different.Pirate700

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]

[QUOTE="Wolfetan"] Red teas? Not familiar with this tea, I've had blue tea, but not red tea. Milk in tea is fine, sorry about being snobby in my recent posts. Just noticed that:(Wolfetan

[QUOTE="Wolfetan"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]I think milk in tea is a classic British thing.

I rarely buy loose just because it's more obnoxious to prepare (and particularly dispose of). When I want a cup of tea I want it immediately and tossing a bag and hot water in there is simplest. I'm not enough of a tea snob to have to go the loose route. Now, coffee, on the other hand, I am snob enough for, thus the French press and aeropress. Give your filthy drip coffee and especially your horrid preground away from me. To say nothing of capsule brewing...DJ_Lae
