The difference between loose teas and bagged teas is the size of the leaves. That's what effects the resulting cup. Tea leaves contain chemicals and essential oils, which are the basis for the  flavor. When the leaves are broken, those oils can evaporate, leaving a dull and less than tasty cup of tea. Most tea bags are filled with the tiniest pieces called fannings. Tea leaves need more room to expand. Water circulation in and around the leaves is important, which doesn't typically happen in a tea bag or small tea ball. Orange Pekoe you find on boxes of tea bags doesn't refer to the flavor or kind of tea. Orange Pekoe is actually a grade of tea. The grade is based on leaf size. Even if you prefer a simple cup of black Keemun, or Assam which is the major component of most bagged teas, try getting your tea loose instead of tea bags. - Adapted from about dot com.
