If you’ve ever sipped green tea and thought, “This tastes...fine,” you’re not alone. But not all green tea is created equal. In fact, the difference between a dusty bag and a cup of organic loose leaf green tea is like comparing instant coffee to fresh-ground espresso.

• More antioxidants
  
• A cleaner, more satisfying cup
