How many teaspoons of tea does this hold?

I don't use it for tea, I use it to season home made soups with fresh herbs.

I use a scant teaspoon of tea leaves for each cup I plan to drink. When I put in two teaspoons, after infusing the now wet leaves have expanded to fill about half of this infuser. You may want to consider using two separate one-gallon pots, brew tea in one pot and then transfer/strain into the other.

I just measured with my scale. One teaspoon is 3 gr, and the label on the container states 49.6gr, which would give you at lease 15-16 teaspoons.

It holds 24 ounces, and I use a tea cozy to cover the pot while it steeps, a tea cozy is like an oven mitt for your tea pot, and it keeps your tea as hot as it was when you first steeped it. I hope this helps, I am very impressed with this infuser.

I use 1tsp. When I'm making just a normal cup a tea or coffee, 1lb lasts me a really good while, if I'm not making pitchers of iced tea like in the summer time. I'm a frequent tea drinker, probably a good 3-5 cups a day and I feel it lasts me a good amount of time probably because the sugar are rock chunks I feel you get out of it, if that makes sense?

Hmmm. Interesting question. Using sugar, I measured that the infuser will hold 20 teaspoons. I didn't measure all the way to the top, just up to the point that would be submerged in water.

Depends on tea cup size. Safely I can say 2. It is wonderful for personal use

It actually holds more than 12 ounces of water. I have a small 12 ounce mug that I always use for my tea, and this teapot gives me one and a half mugs full.

Filled to capacity, the top/tea section holds 24 ounces max., and the bottom/water section holds double that amount, or, 48 ounces/6cups -but the first answer is most accurate for use because you want the water level below the pouring spout.

Well my mug holds about 2 1/2 cups give or take and the tea maker was perfect for it. I wouldn't fill the tea maker and use a small mug. Just a good (normal) sized mug does the trick :)

The suggested amount is one teaspoon to one cup of water... I always use a tad more when making a soup stock...

Looked it up in chart and it says .4 teas. But teaspoons are not near as accurate. So a little less than 1/2 teaspoon.

This will hold at least 4 teaspoons of loose tea, with room for expansion. Including loose teas with decent size pieces of dried fruit. I hope this helps.

It says that one teaspoon is about 2 grams. So, I usually have 2 or 3 teaspoons spread out throughout the day.

Serving size is 2 teaspoons, at 7.8 oz. that makes about 20 servings. Depending on how steady your hand is, and how much you spill ,haha.

A lot! I only use this for individual cups of tea so it is near empty still when I use it. I would guess it would hold about 3/4 cup when full, so about half of that leaving room for expansion? You could really use it to brew a pot.
