A free sample received with a recent order, enough for a full pot. I was a bit leery of the small leaves when brewing for 4 minutes, but its not bitter. A nutty taste with a slight astringent bite to it. The second steeping is rather weak, not sure I’ll have more than one cup from this second brew pot. Life is too short to drink weak tea.
Not a bad tea, not very interesting either, nothing I need in my cupboard.
Flavors: Nutty

My dad has a fancy Upton tea scale that does it by the cup. 2.25 g per 6 oz cup. The pot we use is 34 oz full to the top, I think I measured a little more than 5 cups on the scale and didn’t fill it quite to the top.
That’s probably more info than you needed to know, my dad is a retired chemist so we are very precise when brewing in his kitchen. I’m pretty lax when brewing in mine :)
How much do you normally use when you brew a pot?

Not at all! I was curious. I like to see what everyone else is doing.
