Tea Cubed

There always seems to be something new in tea, doesn’t there?

I think the pyramid shaped silky tea bags are a step up from the square paper bags.

Now Lu Lin Tea has introduced their loose tea in cubes.  This would appear to have the advantage of giving the loose tea leaves more room to expand.

The company has a nice selection of tea in cubes, including Long Jing Green Tea, Jasmine Dragon Pearls, Fujian Oolong, Ginseng Oolong, Puerh, Puerh with Lavender, Keemun Breakfast and Lapsang Souchong.

Right now I have several new teas to try from International Tea Farms Alliance,  so I probably won’t be purchasing tea cubes anytime soon.  I’d love to hear if any of you have tried Lu Lin tea cubes.

    I've never seen these cubes before, but they sound like a nice idea. I would try them if I came across the tea for sale locally.

    Interesting! From circles to pyramids to cubes! Whatever makes the best cup!

    I've not heard of tea cubes either, but it sounds like a good idea!

    I love the silky pyramid-shaped tea bags! I've not seen the cubed bags before, either. I'll have to check those out. :)

    If anyone is interested you can buy Tea Cubed here http://www.lulin-teas.com/shop/tea-cubed-c-71.html Unfortunately we can only ship to the UK at the minute but I'd love to hear if there is a demand in other countries so we can do our best to ship internationally.
