More about Fresh Steeps: 
Vince LaPelusa is the founder of fresh steeps. He has a chemical engineering background from the University of Iowa & loves digging into the science of these herbs & teas.Fresh Steeps is on a mission to teach athletes how tea can optimize longevity, recovery, & performance.
All the herbs used by fresh steeps have been scientifically researched. 
Fresh Steeps holds quality to the highest standard. For that reason they choose to only deliver loose leaf for four main reasons:
1) Loose leaf is the traditional way tea was meant to be drank and they choose to honor that.
2) Loose leaf minimizes toxins you can be exposed to from teabags such as microplastics, bleaches, inks, and dyes.
3) Loose leaf is more sustainable than teabags because there is less packaging and everything can be composted after use.
4) Loose leaf is a tastier experience. It allows the teas to unfurl in your pot expressing diverse flavors. The tea can then be resteeped up to 3 or 4 times!
