Can you travel internationally with loose leaf tea?

The TSA states that tea is allowed in both checked luggage and carry on bags. The same limits of 3.4oz apply for carry on but they do recommend you keep your tea in an easy to separate bag when going through x-ray screening as they may ask you to remove it.

A fully closable container! If you are bringing larger quantities of tea (not just in the small tea bags), I highly recommend sealing them tightly in either a Ziploc bag (perhaps with tape) or a sealed container.

You are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes through the checkpoint. These are limited to 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item. This is also known as the 3-1-1 liquids rule.
