      More and more Restaurants & Cafe's are moving to serving our Loose teas

      More and more Restaurants & Cafe's are moving to serving our Loose teas

      Since January 2022, there has a growing trend in cafes and restaurants globally, including Ireland, to offer loose leaf tea instead of traditional tea bags. This shift was largely due to the increasing demand for higher-quality and more flavorful tea options among consumers who are becoming more health-conscious and interested in premium tea experiences.

      Loose leaf tea offers several advantages over tea bags, including:

      • Better quality: Loose leaf tea is often considered to be of higher quality compared to tea bags as it typically consists of whole or larger tea leaves, which can result in a more flavorful and aromatic brew.
      • Variety and customization: Loose leaf teas come in various types, blends, and flavors, allowing cafes to offer a more extensive selection to cater to diverse consumer preferences. Additionally, customers can often customize their tea by adjusting the quantity and steeping time.
      • Sustainability: Some consumers prefer loose leaf tea due to its reduced packaging and waste compared to individually wrapped tea bags, contributing to sustainability efforts.

      Moving to loose tea couldn't be easier, we offer:

      • Great value 1.3Kg catering boxes with an inner resealable bag.
      • Filter Teapots & Mugs at an affordable price.
      • Fast free shipping over €40, talk to us about our wholesale pricing.
      • Easy Subscription order service.

      Which is healthier Green tea or Black Tea?

      Which is healthier Green tea or Black Tea?

      Both Green Tea and Black Tea offer various health benefits, but they have some differences due to variations in processing and composition.

      Green Tea:

      1. Antioxidants: Green tea is known for its high content of antioxidants, such as catechins, which are believed to have numerous health benefits.
      2. Weight management: Some studies suggest that green tea may help with weight loss and weight management.
      3. Brain health: The antioxidants in green tea have been associated with potential benefits for brain health, including improved cognitive function.
      4. Heart health: Green tea may have a positive impact on heart health by reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
      5. Cancer prevention: Some studies have indicated that Green tea contains a catechin called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). Catechins are natural antioxidants that help prevent cell damage and provide other benefits..

      Black Tea:

      1. Antioxidants: While black tea also contains antioxidants, the levels are generally lower compared to green tea.
      2. Loose teas use the whole leaf while the teabags usually use the cut, ground or “dust” leaf. This makes regular teabags produce fewer Antioxidants and more Caffeine than loose teas. Another important factor which you may consider is bleach residue, a chemical, which remains on the teabags.
      3. Study reveals how drinking two or more cups of black tea a day could affect your longevity.
      4. Heart health: Black tea has been associated with potential benefits for heart health, including a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke.
      5. Digestive health: Black tea may have positive effects on digestive health and gut bacteria.
      6. Tea is rich in polyphenols, which are natural compounds that have health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and helping to fight cancer.
      7. Energy and alertness: Black tea contains caffeine, which can provide a boost in energy and mental alertness.
      8. Oral health: Some research suggests that black tea may contribute to improved oral health by reducing plaque formation and inhibiting bacteria growth.

      In summary, both green tea and black tea have their own health benefits. Green tea may have a slight edge due to its higher levels of antioxidants, but the specific health goals and preferences of an individual may influence their choice. It's worth noting that adding excessive amounts of sweeteners or milk to either tea can diminish some of their health benefits.

      How to make a delicious cup of Irish tea using our award winning blends of McEntee's loose Tea

      How to make a delicious cup of Irish tea using our award winning blends of McEntee's loose Tea

      To make a delicious cup of Irish tea using McEntee's award-winning blends of loose tea, follow these steps:

      1. Start with quality loose tea: McEntee's is known for their exceptional blends, so ensure you have their loose tea on hand. Choose the blend that suits your taste preferences, such as Irish Breakfast or Irish Afternoon.
      2. Boil fresh water: Fill a kettle with fresh, cold water and bring it to a rolling boil. It's important to use fresh water as it enhances the taste of the tea.
      3. Warm the teapot: To ensure the tea stays hot for longer, preheat your teapot. Pour some boiling water into the teapot, swish it around, and then discard the water.
      4. Measure the loose tea: Use a McEntee's Tea Tea measuring spoon (one spoonful per person). Typically, one teaspoon per cup is a good starting point, but you can adjust according to your taste.
      5. Add the tea to the teapot: Place the measured tea leaves into the preheated teapot. Ideally a teapot with removable strainer should be used or add one of the range of McEntee's Tea steel strainers into your existing teapot. 
      6. Pour hot water over the tea: Carefully pour the boiling water from the kettle over the loose tea leaves in the teapot. For a standard-sized teapot, use approximately one cup (8 fluid ounces) of water per teaspoon of tea.
      7. Steep the tea: Place the lid on the teapot and let the tea steep for about 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust the steeping time based on your preferred strength. Be cautious not to steep for too long, as it may result in a bitter taste.
      8. Stir and strain: After the desired steeping time, gently stir the tea in the teapot to ensure it is evenly brewed. Then, use a tea strainer or an infuser to strain the brewed tea into your cup or teacup.
      9. Optional additions: Irish tea is often enjoyed with milk and/or sugar. Add a splash of milk or your preferred sweetener to taste. You can also enjoy it plain if desired.
      10. Savor and enjoy: Take a moment to appreciate the aroma and flavors of your freshly brewed cup of Irish tea. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

      Remember, personal preferences may vary, so feel free to adjust the steeping time, tea strength, or any other aspect of the brewing process to suit your taste.
