"The Secret Truth About Tea"™
All of the tea’s nutrients and health properties are contained in the whole-leaf, not in the small broken leaves or “dusts” used in typical supermarket tea bags. This means that most tea drinkers are only getting a fraction of the wonderful benefits of this ancient plant.
PLAIN-T selects the best whole-leaf teas produced by each garden in each region we visit around the world. Quality and excellence is achieved through the work of skilled artisans, who individually craft small batches of our select whole-leaf teas and infusions.
There are five main types of tea: Black - Oolong - Green - White - Pu-Erh
What few tea-drinkers realize is that all five are made from the same plant species, the Camellia Sinensis. So what accounts for the differences between the five types? The different processing methods they undergo. We refer to our teas as PLAIN teas, because we always deliver our teas in their purest form.
Within each type of tea you’ll find many, many varieties—totaling more than 3,000 teas worldwide. Black, green, and oolong teas are all used as a base to make scented and flavored teas.
