Bodum Teapot

How much loose tea do I put in a 4 cup teapot?
I have a 4 cup bodum tea press….how many teaspoons or tablespoons of loose black tea do I put in for a stong pot? How about for herbal and green teas? Thank you!
*strong* pot…forgive the typo
The rule of thumb is 1 tsp per cup of water, so 4 tsp per pot. If you want it stronger you can experiment with that, maybe 6-8 tsp per pot. The same usually goes for greens and herbals, but with greens its recommended that the water isn’t boiling when you pour it over the leaves (usually 180 degrees F).
Just remember that anything you read is not a clearcut rule, feel free to experiment with it until you find what you enjoy.
