How to measure loose-leaf tea?
Heavy-handed? Be careful! While it is often tempting to overload your filter with loose-leaf tea for extra flavour, it is entirely unnecessary. There is no need to overfill your filter, infuser, or teapot with loose-leaf tea. What is the ideal amount of loose-leaf tea for a cup of tea? Generally, 2 to 3 g of loose-leaf tea is enough for one cup of tea, the equivalent of a teaspoon. With a 100g tea tin, you can enjoy around 40 tea breaks (cups of tea). To make life easier, discover our tea spoon, which lets you measure out your loose-leaf tea in a single scoop.
Can you re-infuse loose-leaf tea?
While it is possible to re-infuse your loose-leaf tea, at Kusmi, we advise against it. To fully enjoy the flavours and aromas of our loose-leaf teas, a single infusion is best. Re-infusing your organic loose-leaf tea multiple times unfortunately diminishes its taste and aroma.
Teapots, infusers: How to brew loose-leaf tea?
To brew your organic loose-leaf tea, opt for teapots with a built-in filter. A teapot allows you to brew your loose-leaf tea for multiple cups. For solo tea breaks or filterless teapots, choose a tea infuser, a tea ball, or paper tea filters.
For those who love cutting-edge technology, opt for the Origin tea maker, the first tea maker capable of brewing your organic loose-leaf teas quickly and to perfection.
