Tea FAQ
Are all the teas available at Loose Leaf Tea Market really loose leaf?
Yes! Every single tea blend we offer is loose leaf. This means you are able to enjoy all of the vitamins, minerals, flavors and aromas from the leaves because water can freely flow through them as they steep versus remaining compact in a teabag.
Can I brew the tea leaves more than once?
Yes! In fact, we encourage steeping your tea leaves more than once to explore how our teas change each time you brew them. However, we do recommend adding another minute or two to your total steep time with every new brew.
Can I drink the tea over ice, or does it have to be hot?
You can enjoy our teas either hot or over ice. Both methods provide benefits. However, certain teas may be more effective when consumed hot. For instance, if you’re dealing with a cold or flu, hot tea is more beneficial than iced tea. Similarly,...

How long does it take for it to work, and when will I see results?
The time it takes to see results depends on the tea and your purpose for using it. Sedating, sleep-promoting teas typically work quickly, often within an hour. However, for chronic issues like inflammation or fatigue, it can take up to 90 days to...
Can you combine the different teas rather than drinking them separately?
While blending teas for convenience makes sense, each tea is a complete and unique blend on its own. We suggest trying them individually first to understand how your body responds and to familiarize yourself with their flavors. Once you're...
My loose leaf tea doesn’t look like the picture on your website. Why is that?
As with all products from agricultural produce, there may be slight variations between batches. We do our best to create consistency in flavor and leaf cut; however, there may be minimal differences depending on the time of harvest or other factors.
