please do me a little favor...if you have a broken leaf tea somewhere (pref. an assam or ceylon, something like that) could you please measure out a level teaspoon and see just how much it weighs? I don't have a scale yet and I'm trying to get a general idea if I've been making tea to a similar strength as what some of the websites say. Thanks!!

Hi Melinda,
I have a 125 g/ 4 oz balance scale (not digital). I did not have a broken leaf Assam or Ceylon on hand but I do have Rungagora Estate Assam TGFOP. It is the last teaspoon in the bag--small tips, broken pieces and some dust. I measured a level teaspoon and got between 1.8 - 1.9 g (hard to be absolutely accurate with full gram hash marks and an air bubble). I would say that for the broken leaf, this would be fairly close...you could round it up to 2g.

Excellant, thank you very much Renee!! Now I can think in terms of a general ballpark, not being familiar with metric as it relates to food....
