Tin contains a total of 2.5 ounces of tea Makes approximately 40 cups of 8oz tea Tin size is 3 x 3 x 2.25 inches Brew Time: Seep 1-1.5 teaspoons for 3-5 minutes Use fresh filtered water when steeping black tea blends. The black tea base used for this blend has large leaves & therefore can be steeped longer than more delicate black teas (e.g. Darjeeling) or broken leaf teas. Though tea balls & strainers are often used for tea that isn’t pre-bagged, ideal methods of infusing loose leaf teas employ strainers that allow for the tea leaves to completely unfurl & release their flavor. Teapots with removable strainers for tea will allow a fuller flavor. It is worth noting, some tea enthusiasts dispense with using strainers altogether & drop leaves in the pot directly & then strain the tea when serving into cups. When employing this method be sure to pour out all tea or remaining liquid will get bitter from over-steeping.
