A smooth cup with no astringency and a vegetal sweetness is produced. Because the whole leaf is is consumed, this tea provides even more of the benefits that green tea has to offer. The Republic of Tea's purpose is to open the road to a rich experience - a true cup of full leaf tea, brewed from simple, natural, whole leaves. Full leaf tea is better tasting and more diverse in its range of flavors than cut leaves and tea dust found in most tea bags.

In order to retain the unique essential oils that create flavorful, full-bodied, and deliciously aromatic tea, the leaves remain whole and uncut. When brewed in hot water, these leaves gently unfold and offer their complex characters which delight and pleasure the senses.
