Hello gents.
Just getting into loose leaf tea. I received a Brown Betty for Christmas and just purchased about 10 different teas to try. All loose leaf. Brewed my first pot and I measured out my water to get the right teaspoon of tea to cup of water amount right. Thing is, the tea pot must have kept some for itself. I was about 1/2 a cup short when I poured the tea into our cups.
How do you account for the absorbed/lost tea? Or do I just need to quit worring about measuring the amount of water?
