all the tea in china?

Question

We have all heard the phrase, someone please tell me how much tea that is? and, exactly how big a teapot do i need for it?

Answer 1

I wouldn't answer this question for all the tea in China.

A lot.

Very, very big.

Answer 2

Like it is said before, you have to use your own discretion. Yet, when I was in southern Taiwan where sipping tea is equivalent of sipping wine in the west, tea leaves fill one third of the pot. The tea is drank with tea cups holds not much more than a shot glass. The tea not only smells great, and taste great too.

Also, if using tea leaves, always dump the first pot fairly quickly (15 second soak is plenty enough). During the manufacturing process of tea leaves, a bitter tasting residues remains on tea leaves. The first pot will be very bitter. Also, as part of tea sipping experience, tea always gets poured after given a decent soak, which depends on your own preferrence, so you can make another pot with the same tea leaves. Otherwise, you would get very strong tea if you leave the water in too long. Generally, the darker color, the stronger the tea.

Hope this gives you some idea. :-)

Just realise I answered the wrong question. The answer might be great but it's wrong. lol. As for how much tea is all the tea? Well, if average chinese use 1 kg of tea a year, (which is not that much considering they use tea leaves, but then the average income of chinese has to be considered), there will be 1.3 million metric ton of tea (a metric ton is fairly equivalent to an english ton).

That's probably enough to change 1% of ocean water into salty tea ( don't ask me how I came up with that number, a lot of assumptions were made, and I don't have that kind of time to accurately figure out something I did not really care for). The final number is 1.3 x 10^10 m^3, or 3.43 x 10^12 gallons.

If you can find tea pot that big, be my guest to make that pot of tea.

Answer 3

USE YOUR OWN DESCRETION HOW MUCH TEA TO PUT IN A POT. WANT STRONGER TEA PUT MORE TEA IN THE POT.
