Two Cup

I've found out myself. You may brew two 175 ml cups from one bag.

Before I make my purchase, please clarify: Does that mean I can make one brew of 350 ml, two brews of 175 ml, or four brews of 87.5 ml. If I'm off by say 10% will it adversely affect the tea? Will these parameters work equally well at 6K meters ASL? Thanks in advance.

BTW, you are smart to have bought the premium teabags. Premium teabags are definitely the way to go.

Since switching to loose-leaf tea I've found that any good tea should give you at least two good infusions. Not many tea sellers will tell you so, although it was on the mellowmonk.com website, where I've been getting my green tea lately. I've heard that some Asian markets carry do-it-yourself tea bags into which you can put your own loose tea, but in the meantime I use a deep infuser that sits right on the cup. (I got it at Whole Foods; it has a planets-and-stars pattern around the rim. You can probably find it on the 'Net.)

For the second infusion I sometimes add a bit of new leaves to the old, but either way I think it'd be a waste of fine tea to throw it away after only one brew. Cheers, --Sean

That is a good question Micheal. I received this message from Tetley:

Two 175ml cups may be brewed from one teabag. Thank you for choosing Tetley!

I assume that you can make a brew of 350ml with one bag. I'm really not sure. I would advise experimenting yourslef. Not sure how altitude would affect your tea.

Hope that helped at least a little

Thank you for your answer, Alex. It was indeed very helpful. I'll take your advice and experiment myself.
