Why are pyramid bags often associated with premium selections and superior flavor complexity?

They accommodate larger, whole, or high-quality cut leaves that retain more essential oils

The volumetric space provided by the pyramid design directly correlates with the quality of tea that can be packaged within it. Producers can confidently use larger, whole, or high-quality cut tea leaves in a pyramid sachet, whereas flat bags must rely on smaller particles like fannings and dust. Whole leaves inherently retain significantly more essential oils and natural compounds crucial for nuanced flavor and aroma, which broken fragments cannot replicate effectively. When these larger leaves are given the necessary space to fully expand during brewing, they release their complete character, which explains why pyramid bags are synonymous with premium selections that bridge the gap between loose-leaf quality and convenient packaging.
