Default Green tea leaf particle and leaf size

Hello, Does the tea leaf size after you steep the tea an indication
of quality of the tea batch? I've noticed some greens I have have
big full leaves. Some are mostly broken particles.

For example, I recently bought some Sencha from an Asian mart, and
although it tasted very good, I noticed from my Ingenuitea infuser
that the leaf particles were small and broken, it seemed. (so much
for Asia Marts)

Since I'm new to brewing loose leaf tea (especially greens), I have
limited experience. So I ask the tea community if this is normal, or
should I always look for full leaf sizes and bigger particle sizes.
And not to promote websites, but which ones sell fresh and new season
teas.

thanks so much and just a note to say I enjoy this forum very much.

Bernie
