How much does one teaspoon of loose leaf tea weigh?

Posted by Guest on May 31st, 2011 | 2 comments

I’m trying to estimate how many cups of tea one receives from a package of loose leaf tea.

Loose leaf tea is sold by the ounce, and when brewing it, I estimate one teaspoon of tea per cup.

Knowing how much this weights (in ounces) would allow me to calculate how many cups one might receive from a package.

Thank you!

How to plan a Lady Gaga themed tea party?

I’m going to be 22 on July 4th and I’m planning a Lady Gaga themed tea party. I was thinking of a monster’s ball or something. I dunno, what would be the best? Any ideas?
I am going to have some of my 19 and 20 year old friends over, so I have to limit alcohol.

Why does green tea make me dizzy?

Posted by Guest on May 29th, 2011 | 4 comments

I’ve drank green tea my whole life but it always makes me feel a bit dizzy. Yes this is legal store bought tea, not laced =)
Edit: I feel pretty dumb. I had no idea green tea had caffeine in. Because I drink green tea only once a week it’s probably because I’m not used to it, I do not drink soda or energy drinks. I avoid caffeine.

What is the problem with steeping your tea bag longer than the recommended time?

Does it just make the tea stronger or does it affect the flavour?
Does it matter what kind of tea you are drinking (black, green, herbal, chai, etc)?

Where can I buy hot chocolate and tea pods for the Senseo machine?

Posted by Guest on May 27th, 2011 | one comment

I was wondering if anybody new where I could find like hot chocolate, white hot chocolate, and tea pods for the Senseo coffee machine?
I am located in the U.S. and I know that the Senseo website only sells coffee. I am looking for other websites that sell pods that will work with the Senseo machine.
