In every coffee shop I have managed we have served tea in one form or another. I feel it is important to serve a high quality tea that compliments the quality coffee and espresso beverages on the menu. However, I am curious what people have found when choosing to serve either loose leaf or a form of single portion, bagged tea. It seems much easier to find a single portion option, unless one wants to invest a lot of space and labor in loose leaf and tea pots.

The tea sachets that Two Leaves and a Bud offer seem very cool. Somewhat of a hybrid of loose leaf and an easy way to serve teas.

Hi Matt,

I discovered a wonderful mixture of the two possibilities you mention above. It was in Hamburg in a corner coffee house named Cafe Bar Knuth, not far from the Altona Main Train Station. The tea is served in a bag, but these bags have all been packed by hand in the premises. On one side I find that to be a good thing, as it is a better choice to commercial bags. On the other hand I much rather let the leaves swim freely, as I believe the need to in order to provide a high quality tea.
