How much tea should I use per cup? What\u2019s a Perfect Spoon<\/span><\/a>? We hear these questions a lot, and it\u2019s no surprise. With so many opinions on the topic, it can get really confusing. That\u2019s why we\u2019re here to break it down for you.<\/p>\n

How to measure the perfect amount of tea<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Measuring the right amount of loose leaf tea is super simple. If you check the label on any DAVIDsTEA 50 g bag, 100 g tin or 250 g tin, the steeping instructions are listed right at the bottom.<\/p>\n

\"Label\"<\/p>\n

Looking at the label, you\u2019ll notice that all of our measurements are standardized at 1-2 Perfect Spoons<\/span><\/a> (1-2 PS) per 475 ml (16 oz) cup. Not familiar with our Perfect Spoon? This brilliant little teaspoon is our measuring standard to making a cup of tea. It holds 1.25 tsp of tea and was specially designed to help you measure your loose leaf correctly to ensure a perfect brew.<\/p>\n

But what if you want a bigger cup? Or an iced tea? Or a tea latte? Not to worry \u2013 we created this simple tea measuring guide to help you steep the right amount of loose leaf, every time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course, there are other factors \u2013 like water temperature and steeping time \u2013 to take into consideration, but using the right amount of tea per cup is the first step to making a delicious cuppa.<\/p>\n

Steep it your way<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that while we follow these guidelines in-store and at home, they aren\u2019t steadfast rules. Some people prefer to use more or less tea, so feel free to experiment with different measurements. After all, the perfect cup is however you like it.<\/p>\n
