What's the Difference Between Loose Leaf and Teabags?

Thanks for asking this question Andy. I love tea but always drink the flavored tea like Bigelow and others. A good friend sent me the whole set of tea leaves, press and flowering teas,,,have not used it yet but will this week sometime. My favorite so far is the Caramel/Vanilla with a spot of cream and two sugars. I got interested in teas when the wife and I took a cruise on the Queen Mary 2 a few years ago and they had a tea time every day with some amazing teas, scones, sandwiches and more. We got really interested in this ritual and stay with it to this day.
