whole leaf
Complete plant blade
Whole leaf describes tea or tobacco sold with leaves intact rather than cut, crushed, or ground.
Whole leaf tea is considered higher quality because the unbroken leaves release flavor more gradually during steeping: She prefers whole leaf over tea bags.
Whole leaf tobacco is used for premium cigars and pipe blends.
