Backlog from a few days ago.
I’ve brewed this twice so far, and I have to admit that both times I’ve chickened out and used much less leaf than the steeping instructions from Teavivre recommend. They’re recommending about 3x how much leaf I would normally use for a single teapot – I can’t get over how extravagant the instructions are.
Will I one day dare to use a whole tablespoon of leaf per 8 oz of liquid? Will the results bowl me over? So far, using my wimpier measurements, it’s a decent cuppa, but nothing earthshattering – malty, sweet-potatoey, but nothing too noteworthy.
Of course, I do have a lot of tea in my cupboard now. I shouldn’t be scared to use it all up, because if I don’t, it will go stale before I have a chance to drink it!

I usually use about 2 teaspoons (about 10 grams) per 10 ounces of water or so. Since it’s fluffy as well, I probably get more than 2 teaspoons since I don’t weigh. :)
I tend to brew things in teapots of 24 oz – so that would be about 5 tsp by your reckoning. Hmm…
