Many tea bags have tea "dust" in them. That is, they are tiny particles of the leaves. Loose leaf is typically whole leaf. There are some whole leaf tea bags. I serve Harney & Sons silk sachet bags in my shops. They contain whole leaf.

As far as flavor, it could probably be compared to longfiller handmade cigars, and shortfiller machine made.
