If you enjoy a cup of tea during the day, then the chances are that you don't make it with loose tea, but you use tea bags instead.

If you're more serious about your tea, and want to know more about it, or can appreciate a fine wine, then here's why you must drink loose tea from Hawaii.

1. Loose tea makes a better cup of tea. It is more authentic, and if it is brewed properly, will be a million miles away from the tea that you're used to.

2. Loose tea used much bigger pieces of the tea leaf, and sometimes even the whole leaf itself. A tea bag just used thousands of tiny particles of the tea leaf, which are called fannings.

3. Because the tea used in tea bags is broken, tea bags can go stale very quickly, as there is lots of surface area.

4. Whole leaves are more flavorsome and offer much more taste and flavor when compared to teabags. The flavor and texture can be dramatically reduced when the leaf is broken

5. Tea leaves need space to swell. In a tea bag, there isn't enough space, and so the flavor and taste are compromised.

6. The hot water needs to circulate the leaves, and this can't happen in a teabag, as there just isn't enough space.

7. Loose tea also offers more variety of teas to try. If you haven't tried white, black, or green teas, then you might be missing out. There really are lots to choose from, and like wines, they are all different.

8. Teas from different countries offer different tastes and flavors, and in the same way that wines from different countries share some characteristics, so do teas.

9. If you're new to loose teas, and are not sure what you should be looking for, or what sort of teas you might like, then an online tea supplier will be a good place to start. Here you'll find a range of teas, and even a gift pack or beginner's trial pack so that you try lots of teas and see which ones you like.

10. There are many health benefits associated with drinking tea, green tea, and black tea especially. If you're serious about wanting to gain the benefits of drinking teas for health reasons, then you'll want to be sure that you're using good quality loose teas.

Now you know more about teas and why tea bags aren't as good as loose teas, is it time for you to buy loose teas?
