The whole leaf is typically a higher quality leaf. Im no expert on tea, but when I was looking to "upgrade" from using lipton in the caffes I sampled many different types at various coffee shows.

Perhaps someone with more tea experience can chime in on why the whole leafs are worth the premium price.

In the mean-time, pm me your addy and ill let you try some assorted whole leaf varieties.
