Good morning, #nostriches!

For those of you that enjoy #looseleaf #tea, how much dry tea would you use to brew a cuppa that is about 750mL?

The "cup" in question:

In this case, I'm using black tea. I honestly don't know enough about tea types to compare various amounts to each other per volume of tea. I'd value any input from more knowledge aficionados.

GM, I use smaller cup. I estimate it's 300 ml, half of the yours. I'd say teaspoon with slight heap. I might be a caffeine addict though.

No worries, thank you!

Interesting his childhood might have shaped my taste of tea. I like Darjeeling, Yunnan - black. And that's because of my mum. Yunnan was her favourite one.

This one is of very similar taste I remember from childhood.

I am a filthy casual with tea. I don't drink too many caffeinated varieties as I am caffeine sensitive and have a hard limit on when I can drink it and still sleep well.

It is good that you have such a deep connection to the types of tea that you drink. I love hearing about things like that. Again, thank you for sharing. 💚
