how many teaspoons of tea can I place in this infuser?

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.

The size of the Infuser is 4.8 oz. It is quite roomy and easily holds the expansion of the tea. Sorry - I haven't counted teaspoons - I just dump it in depending on the type of tea and the strength I wish. I would recommend it - the nicest one that I've found.

I think it depends on the size of the tea leaf or flower bud/tea mixture you are using. But for example to use apple pie chi rooiboos tea I can fit 6 tablespoons of dry tea into the infuser. That does not leave enough room for expansion when hot water is poured over the tea. So I would say you could reasonably expect to fit 3 tablespoons (9 teaspoons) of a fine to medium sized tea with room for expansion. you could do a very strong cup of tea, a very large cup or a pot.

I made a gallon with my starter scoby I used 1 1-4 cups sugar with 8 tea bags. Make sure your sweet tea is at room temp before adding scoby. I let it sit for 10 days.

Hi Katie! The slotted infuser insert is 4 inches long, and one and 1/4 inches in diameter. It can be pushed up into the cap of the infuser, or I prefer to just let it sit in the bottom, as the fruit will continue flavoring the water when the water level gets low. I LOVE my infuser, have had it for quite a while now, and have found it to be VERY sturdy. I'm not gentle with my things, and this has proven itself to be rugged. I have it with me all day, every day. I know you wouldn't be disappointed with this purchase. Best Wishes, Ann

4-5 teaspoons is probably the largest batch to brew in it since the leaves expand during steeping and still need room to float around. It does hold 16 dry teaspoons of tea if that helps visualize the size.

I make mine strong. I use a tea spoon I got from teavana. I measured and it is a teaspoon I use 1per 8 ounces. If I mix it with a flavor I use 2 spoon of Irish and 1 spoon of the flavor and mix it with 16 to 20 ounces of water.

Depends on how strong you wish it to be; I've always used a heaping teaspoon which is equivalent to 1 tablespoon for 8 oz. water, roughly--3 minutes steeping and this is plenty strong for me.

A definite NO. This infuser was designed for use with a standard size, single-serving tea cup, coffee cup, or mug. It was not intended to brew a tea pot full of tea in one go.

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.

3 and 1/8" on the teapot and 3" on the infuser. The reason for me to get this teapot was I want a glass only teapot, so I can't answer your question. Metal infuser may be better than a glass infuser, but it definitely decreases the beauty of the teapot.

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.

Hi...the answer depends on how strong you like your tea. It's very concentrated--I never use more than a teaspoon per cup. A little goes a long way. If you like your tea stronger, you'll use more. I bought two packages of this tea in October and am only halfway through the second one--and I've made at least one cup a day, every day, sometimes more. This is a very good product and I'll be buying more when the last package runs out.

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.

It really depends on how strong you want your tea. i take a half teaspoon every day and it lasts about 5-6 weeks.

Filled to the brim with no infuser or tea in there I got 27 fl oz (800 mL) in there. I was even able to add another 1.5 ounces (to 850 mL) before anything came spilling out the spout. Filled to 27 fl oz or more, though, it would be difficult to pour without it spilling out out the top. With tea in there I will end up using this teapot for around 20 fl oz (600 mL) of tea.

I just filled my tea pot where I feel it would be safe and not too full. Measured it out and it was 700mls. A 8oz cup is 240mls so 2cups is 480mls and so on. At least 3 8oz cups would work.

truly depends on how strong you like your tea...I use about 1 Tablespoon for an entire pot of tea (no idea how many ounces that is) but I also allow 3-5minutes for steeping for STRONG tea. I have found that this tea has a very full flavor. Sorry I can't be more precise.
