How much loose tea do I use?

Follow package directions. The ratio would be the same as any other pitcher.

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.

A large glass spaghetti sauce jar with screw on lid should hold most, if not all the tea. If there is any excess, put in smaller jar and use first. Hope this helps!

Depends on what you're using it for. Usually you would use 1 tsp if you put it in coffee or tea. There are lots of recipes you can use it in that call for more.

Before purchasing this tea I watched a Youtube video showing a cup of green tea being prepared and the tea was measured with a Chashaku (Hooked Bamboo Scoop). Two scoops (slightly less than 1 tsp) or 3-4 scoops (about 1.5 tsp) depending on what you're making. One website says to measure ½ to 2 scoops of powder for Usucha and 3 to 4 scoops for Koicha. I also bought a Chasen (tea whisk). I've not made any tea yet, but I'm prepared!! When using the bamboo scoop I would think you'd be less apt to use more tea than you really need, thus getting as many servings as possible.

For one cup of tea (8 oz), add one teaspoon powder to hot water and mix. You can adjust the amount of powder per cup according to taste.

Wouldn't that depend on the type of tea being used and how much is needed to brew a pot to your taste? I use it to brew rosehips tea in a 2 quart pan. I use different amounts depending how the rosehips is sent to me... chopped (1/2 a teaball) or broken blossoms (3/4 teaball). How much tea do you use to brew a 48 oz pot?

I use a tea ball for loose leaves and also have not had a problem. In addition, you can buy empty reusable tea bags in bulk either here or for much cheaper on ebay. They work well too, just like the normal tea bags with a string that we are all accustomed to.

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.

Put the loose leaf tea at the bottom. It should work with almost any tea except matcha, since that's such a fine powder. Then pour the boiling water on top (for almost all black teas), water just before boiling point for oolong and the most robust herbal teas, or about 160 degrees for green teas or herbal teas that lose flavor when the water's too hot.The disadvantage to using it over a tea ball is that you do need to pour almost immediately or the tea will get too strong.

Hi, Approximately 10 tablespoons of loose leaf tea are a good measure for brewing a gallon of tea. Currently, this is the only size tea infuser we offer. Since our infuser holds about 1 1/2 tablespoons, depending on which tea variety you use, it would take you about 6-7 filling/brewing times with our infuser to make a gallon. Hope this is helpful, especially for making iced tea as summer approaches! Warmly, Bridgett from Flourish & Thrive

Oh that is hard to say, it depends on how strong you want it. I just take a small pinch and put it in my small sauce pan, boil the water and then drop the pinch in I would say that is about a full TSP, let it steep for a few minutes I then strain it into a little tea pot but you can just let it flow into a cup.. I may use a touch of honey if it really does not need it. Of that is not strong enough add some more next time if it is too string just add more water. I hope that helps. Enjoy

Hi! I use 2 large Lipton tea bags. It depends on how strong you like your tea.

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 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.

Did you ever figure out how much to use? I am going to be making a half gallon of green tea as well.
