Tea Term Tuesday: Fannings – The Little Leaf Bits That Just Don’t Measure Up 🍂☕

Not all tea is created equal. Many tea bags rely on fannings—tiny leaf fragments that steep quickly but lack depth, freshness, and complexity. In this post, we explore what fannings are, why they’re so common, and how switching to loose-leaf tea can transform your tea-drinking experience. From better flavor to sustainability and even multiple re-steeps, loose-leaf tea offers more in every cup. Curious about what’s really in your tea? Let’s dive in!

Why We Don’t Do Black Friday Sales (And Why Small Business Saturday Is Different)

Let’s be real—Black Friday is chaos. Long lines, endless emails, and the pressure to snag “deals” that often aren’t even that great. At Moody Teas, we skip the frenzy because, honestly? Our prices are already Black Friday-worthy every day. We believe in fair pricing year-round, so you don’t need to wait for a sale to treat yourself to our small-batch, hand-blended teas. But don’t get it twisted—just because we don’t do Black Friday doesn’t mean we don’t love showing our customers a little extra love. This year, we’re celebrating Small Business Saturday with a special offer that’s as thoughtful and unique as our blends.

Tea Term Tuesdays: Exploring Unique Flavors from Around the World with Single-Origin Teas

Single-origin tea reflects the unique flavors and characteristics of the region it comes from, offering an authentic connection to its terroir. Unlike single-estate tea, which is sourced from one specific garden, single-origin tea represents the broader essence of a region, with leaves often coming from multiple farms. Beyond flavor, single-origin teas support sustainability by promoting environmentally friendly practices and fair labor, helping preserve traditional farming methods and uplift rural communities. Each cup is a celebration of purity, traceability, and care for the planet.
