How many family size tea bags would you use to fill up this 2 quart pitcher vs. regular size tea bags? I don't like my tea too weak or too strong.

We use 2 family size Luzianne tea bags which is perfect for us. Sometimes we will use one family size tea bag and one standard size Earl Grey. Experiment and find a flavor that you like.

I also do not like my tea too weak or too strong, so I use 2 family size tea bags or 6 of the small tea bags.

I use 2 Family size bags myself. With a little experimentation you'll find the number that suits your taste.

5oz is a lot of tea...if your drinking that much tea so quickly...I would definitely look at a lower end brand. I'm sorry but no suggestions for brand.

There are two bags connected together in 1 family size tea bag. Hope this helps.

Sorry, just did the count: approximately 15-20 bags per square-depending on the size of the tea bag size (ie Lipton tea bags are smaller then yogi tea bags); but you could fit around 100tea bags...

I only received one pitcher but it didn't seem like it was that much. Maybe though? I loved the ice tea maker so it was fine with me. It was very hard to find the correct pitcher so maybe that made the difference. In fact, that was the reason I went for it.

I use 8 regular-sized tea bags, but it really depends on how strong you prefer your tea to be :)

The tea maker has a strength knob you can adjust from weaker to stronger tea. You can try brewing on the strong setting and then diluting the stronger tea to your liking in a gallon jug.

It's a 2-quart kettle, so 6-8 cups of tea, I think - you lose some water to the leaves and it depends on how big and how full your cups are

I use 4 family size Luzianne tea bags. It makes it perfect for my family's taste.

2 1/2 U.S cup (2 10 oz Brit Cups) or a little over 3 6 oz cups. A normal fill would be around 20 oz. - Nice for tea for two - with a good quality whole leaf tea you would expect to have two potential refills giving around 10 6 oz cups total. That is normal practice.

It really depends on how strong you like your tea. I personally use three family size tea bags. The instructions say you can use regular size tea bags (I usually use 4) and you can also use loose tea.

I agree with the 2-21/2 cups. We have 12 grandchildren and these are the perfect size for them and much easier for them th handle than bags.

Sorry Cheri, I just open the tea bags and take what I need for the particular container I am using. I use it as though it is loose tea.

You can add tea bags no problem. There is more than enough room for one bag, I usually add two bags because I like my tea strong and don't have too much of a problem getting them to fit.

i have an open top mesh strainer that i plop into almost boiling water.if you are interested in quality teas, you need away to deal with loose leaves. of course, you can just dump tea in water, then strain it this is worth the effort as even davidsons is far better than tea bags.personally, i prefer yamamotoyama as tea is important to me. do follow directions. too long a brew ruins greens.

You could probably use regular tea bags but I wouldn't use loose tea as it would seap throughout the pitcher.

I purchased this item for my daughter. My daughter prefers to use Loose tea. My answer, as I have seen my daughter use this item at home is no more then 1 level teaspoon for a 10 to 12 oz cup of tea. If you like your tea to taste stronger then add a pinch more of Loose tea to the 1 level teaspoon. I Hope this answers your question, Oscar. Enjoy your tea.
