26 Apr What are Single-leaf Teas

Single leaf tea is defined as unbroken tea leaves that maintain their natural shape and taste, with no extra or added flavoring.  

Great quality teas require careful attention to the leaf as the reservoir of flavor and health. Unlike the broken-leaf teas that dominate the market, premium tea leaves are handpicked and handcrafted by master tea makers to reveal the unique aroma, terroir and character of the tea cultivar. They are completely natural with no additional flavoring necessary for its character to shine.

In a good tea, flavors form the words of the dialogue between the tea plant and the terroir. A single complete leaf carries the history of that tea’s dialogue with its environment, a history you can taste with each sip.

Ver Té believes single leaf teas allows us to stay grounded and connected with the natural world. What we put into our bodies and choose to experience in our physicality impacts our minds and mental clarity. Nature is part of us, as we are part of nature. Single leaf teas help us to remember that relationship.
