The next step is to fill tea leaves or tea bags in the teapot. For tea bags, the rule is simple, use one per cup — the most common form of preparation. But if you're looking to upgrade your at-home experience with loose leaf tea, be sure to follow the ratio of one teaspoon for every cup and add one teaspoon for the pot.
Loose-leaf tea or a tea blend will give you much more flavour than tea bags. If you are starting out with loose leaf tea or a tea blend, it is a good idea to purchase from a trusted source. Buying from sources like Monks Chai helps ensure that you are purchasing high-quality, ethically-sourced blends.
Try Monk's Organic Specialty Chai, famous for its deepest flavours and organic ingredients, so you will never have to worry about the quality of the tea.
