How does the size of the bag compare to other teas they sell? Is it really. Multiple times larger than the black tea bags?

You are buying this tea in bulk, it is pretty light - I haven't bought any other teas from Coffee bean except peppermint, I usually buy my loose tea from Teavana, but it is about the size of a shoe box. It will last you a while!

trust me, 2lbs of dried mint leaves is a lot! Almost a shoe-box sized bag. I drink this tea daily and still not done with my bag

My wife and I have various sized tea bags. We tend to do a trial and error depending on the tea you use. For normal, one cup, lipton sized bags; we use about 6 for mild tea, and 8-10 when we want it stronger. We also have some chinese loose tea that we also use. Most will depend on how strong you want, plus a trial and error.

Yea.. The size is absolutely fine..!!! The quality though.... Is just not really durable.. I guess we have our bin bag for year or two .. And it's deffinetly lost its shape and stretched out.. So now it looks more just like a black garbage bag...!! I would recommend to shop around.. In stores .. And check them in person.. And buy a lil more expensive item but better quality ...

I have found Bu's Brew to be versatile, but not by using half a tea bag. For example, I steep one tea bag in a 1/2 gallon container, then mix it with plain water when watering target plants. That has proven successful. I should add that I like Bu's Brew A LOT. The results I get with it are better than other products I've tried that were also touted as environment-friendly.

I use 4 standard green tea bags. You could also use 1 of the family sized bags as well.

no they are not the same. a gallon size bag would be similar to 3 of the family size tea bag. a family size tea bag is similar to about 3 regular size tea bags. SO to make a gallon of iced tea you need either 1 gallon size bag, or 3 family size bags, or 9 regular tea bags. I hope this helps.

Haven't bought the tea bags for a couple of years now. I liked the loose leaf better because I can make it stronger or weaker depending on how I want it for the day. I've had the loose leaf for over six months before I get to the sealed bag and I've not noticed any difference.

Sorry, just did the count: approximately 15-20 bags per square-depending on the size of the tea bag size (ie Lipton tea bags are smaller then yogi tea bags); but you could fit around 100tea bags...

Family size is not the same as gallon. Regular tea bags are for one cup of water. Family size bags are for four cups of water. Gallon size are for, well, one gallon of water.

I use 2 family size tea bags. You may have to experiment to get exactly what you like.

The size is the same as a regular tea bag. They do not heat seat. I either staple it closed or just be careful not to let any tea out.

I can use 2 lg bags stuffed in, or about an ounce or two of loose tea. I prefer the bags, bc some loose tea can get through the holes... Pretty gnarly to drink, lol.

I would use 3 tea bags. But please! Venture into loose tea, you will love it!

Yep, Britannia is right. Also, each tea cubby is about 4.5x2.75 inches and can hold about 16-18 tea bags. It's a good product.

Try buying the Lipton yellow label loose leaf tea from amazon. I got a pound for ~$10 and it works great (http://smile.amazon.com/dp/4639725043/) and should make many gallons of tea. The taste is similar to Lipton bags but smoother (and better) in my opinion. I've been using 2 1/2 tablespoons of tea per pitcher and brewing for 4-5 minutes.

The k-cups do not fit this, but I discovered if your a tea drinker a tea bag is great. Just put in capsule holder close run and wow the best cup of tea!! Now Im going to buy the coffee bags!Yes I do suggest this. I enjoy teas and a great latte or cappuchino.

I haven't had that experience probably because I leave my tea bag in the ug a long time.......however the kettle is a big disappointment. I don't like the black interior mat all and having to hold the "gizmo" to pour out the water is very painful. I will go to the stores to find one that suits me and where I can open it up and see inside.
