Does the brewing instructions that go with most teas ( X amount of tea per cup of water ) mean 8 ounce measuring cup or 5~6 ounce tea cup?

Most often they mean 6oz, but 8oz. is not really an issue. Just like coffee they usually tell you to use more than needed to use it up sooner and buy more. I normally start with a set amount for each type of tea and then adjust up and down from there to see if I notice any change, some teas can be cut down to almost half the normal amount with no real taste difference. It pays to experiment.

I usually use a teaspoon of tea to an 8 ounce mug. There's a possibility that some would consider this too weak for some teas. Toci
