[QUOTE="keen smoke, post: 270752, member: 2428"] All really good advice here. I have the ingenuiTEA in both sizes and it makes loose tea super easy. For me, I use a mug that holds about 16oz, so a full smaller iTEA pot makes a full "cup" (16oz) for me. I mainly only drink black teas and blends. So for that, I use roughly 3 teaspons of loose tea and steep for 4-5 minutes with water at boiling/212. Really though like pipe tobacco, start with recommendations like these but find your sweet spot. If you like your tea a bit stronger you'll probably want to err on the high side of 1 tsp per 8oz of water and err on the side of steeping longer, for example. But try it out with less tea/less time as well. It depends on the tea too as some tea gets bitter if steeped too long. Most teas you buy will come with recommendations for how much to use/how hot the water should be... always a good place to start of course. Cheers, enjoy the lovely world of fine teas... especially along side your favorite pipe and tobacco. [/QUOTE]
