How to Measure Loose Leaf Tea (Without Overthinking It)

One of the most common questions about loose leaf tea is simple:

“How much do I use?”

For a standard 8 oz cup, the answer is approximately 3 grams of tea.

That equals about one rounded teaspoon for most blends.

In the First Pour Collection, each pouch contains 10 grams — enough for roughly 3 to 4 cups depending on your preferred strength.

You don’t need a digital scale to enjoy loose leaf tea.

Precision is helpful, but not required. That’s why we provide clear steep guidance — so the ritual feels simple and approachable.

If you prefer a lighter cup, use slightly less.
If you enjoy something bolder, add a touch more.

Tea is forgiving.

The goal isn’t perfection.
It’s enjoyment.
