You get more infusions that taste fresher with loose leaves. And some of your wonderful teas only come in loose.

I'm actually not sure. Don't drink tea very much, but I'm starting to because I had the worst cold in the history of colds and now it's been followed by bronchitis, and I hear tea helps make you feel better.i drink both, but i think tea leaves (loose) taste better than tea dust (bags).
there's also a whole 'proper way' to make tea that actually affects the way it tastes! (who knew? lol)
nice idea for a thread, Rossella! what do you think?
i'm so sorry!
i have a cold, too (not the worst, tho) and i've been drinking peppermint tea.
Newman's Own, i think? nice strong peppermint taste, and it seems to help the sore throat and the sinuses, a little.
are you getting any sleep with the cough?
I've only ever found lapsang souchong in loose form, so I guess it's loose for me.
That said, I don't have it often. I buy ready-made herbal concoctions and rooibos in bags. Regular tea? Bags, because it's convenient, especially when I'm at work.

I have limited experience with loose tea, but the one I tried (Assam) was most excellent. I did manage to find it in little nylon looking tea bags, and it was good, as well.
It probably has more to do with the freshness of the tea... although, it SEEMS like the whole, loose tea should have better flavor than the aforementioned "tea dust" in most normal teabags.

I think that processed(bagged) tea tastes better because most places ad stuff to it to enhance the flavor but in doing that they diminish the health benefits.
You can make pretty decent tea from loose tea using a drip coffee maker. I'm sure tea aficionados are rolling their eyes at the thought of putting loose tea through good ole Mr. Coffee. But it works! lol
I drink both kinds--loose and bagged tea. Bagged tea is a bit more convenient. But you can get a lot more flavors with loose tea. I only use Mr. Coffee to make tea for myself when I'm at work. I generally boil loose tea leaves in a kettle, and then pour it through a strainer. I have a couple of wire mesh tea balls I use sometimes too.

Well... I've never had the same flavour of tea in both bags and loose, so I can't really compare 
I don't think I'd taste the difference... and to be honest, I don't think most people would in a blind test,
we just assume things based on how something looks. (I saw a test once where "wine experts" mistook a white (coloured) wine for red wine )

Another form that I use is Matcha Green tea. ( I mostly add it to me protein drink in the mornings ) It's health properties are supposed to be excellent and enhanced considerably from either bag tea or loose tea.

Thanks! Sorry about your cold, too! I have been, but I've been so worn out that no matter how much sleep I get I soon need more
But, on the plus side, it seems to be on its way out!This maybe depends on personal taste, but they certainly look better-)

It is not how loose or bagged the tea is, but where and what kind of place it grew in and process it went through that counts!
Loose leaf tea is fantastical! !
Black tea strong and bold for me but Im addicted to coffee so this flavor preference does not surprise.
