Hello All,
I recently came across, and bought, the tea thermos from this page:
My question is: how much (green) tea would you advise to put in something like this for a day's brewings. I normally brew tea in a teapot or, more recently, a gaiwan for green tea. In those cases I've always brewed the tea to the "correct" strength and strained away the leaves. I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of keeping the leaves in the tea in this way.
It seems obvious that the tea will get stronger as you drink it, so unless you drink the whole lot very quickly I imagine you have to start with it slightly "under-brewed" and drink it while it goes through "normal" to "a bit too strong". I'm just wondering what the optimum amount to put in would be.
Of course I'll experiment, but any advice to save me the heartbreak of too much wasted tea would be appreciated!
