How much loose leaf tea shoud I use to make a cup of tea?

Answer 1

Usually its 1 teaspoon per cup, with bulkier teas I'd recommend trying two.

Of course this is all to your taste, there are no strict rules to tea. Try experimenting until you find what is just right to you.

Answer 2

Depends on the type of tea, how fine it's ground, and the strength you want. Here's a general guide:

Herbal = 1.5 tsp (steep for 5-6 minutes at 208 degrees)
Green = 1 tsp (1-2 min at 175)
White = 1.5 tsp (4-5 min at 175)
Black = 1 tsp (3-4 min at 195)
Red/Rooibos = 1.5 tsp (5-6 min at 208)
Mate = 1.5 tsp (5-6 min at 208)
Oolong = 1 tsp (3-4 min at 195)
