I see someone else already responded, but I'd like to add that it's quite simple in that you could put as many or as little tea bags you want, maybe add in a few herbal or green teas, and place in sunshine until it is dark (the other answer gave the advice of no more than 4 hours, but I've never had problems with it if it goes over that if I forget to bring it in.) Personally, I like to make it strong because it will become dilute once you pour it over ice in your glass. If it helps to get you started, I like to add approximately 6 -8 tea bags to a gallon of water, sit it out in the sun in the morning, and you're good to go by afternoon. Enjoy!

I have a kale and fruit smothie every a.m. and I put a Tablespoon of the Green tea leaves in it:). Don't like to be or since they are better raw.

I have made probably 30 containers of both sun tea and brewed tea in the time I have owned it. I put jar in my dishwasher on the bottom shelf, the lid on the top shelf and use the dry cycle without any problems so far. I think it was a wise purchase on my part, I enjoy using it. It is made of HEAVY GLASS and the tight fitting lid is why I purchased it in the first place, I was tired of the usual plastic pitcher which seemed to hold flavors and smells even though they were put into the dishwasher.

I bring about 3 quarts of water to boil, add the tea bag, turn the burner off and cover the pot. I let it steep for about 45 minutes. I then dilute the tea with cold water - adding about 9 quarts of water. These large tea bags make up to 3 gallons of tea. You can make less by letting the tea steep for a shorter time - maybe 10 minutes -- then add water to dilute to strength that you want.

The directions that come with the composter I think said a 3 parts water to one part tea... Not 100% confident.

If it is sun tea outside I leave it all day. But it brews sooner than that. If I am using it inside and using boiling water it takes as long as a normal pot of tea. But then I let it sit until it cools a little and chill it in the refrigerator. I hope this helps, I've never timed it.

OK, I didn't watch it long enough. Once the tea soaked in it did blur, sorry about the wrong info, I should've watched the experiment longer. Thanks, mike

I added a cranberry tea to mine saw it on you tube. I boiled the tea and used that water to mix it. Hope this help.

Thanks so much GW for posting this. Although we have already posted this a few times before on our reviews section and in response to some of the questions posted here, we are re-posting this for everyone's convenience. The home of our Organic Matcha - both Culinary and Ceremonial - is now located in Shizuoka, Japan, within a tea region recognized by the United Nations as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. Harvested from a family-run tea farm in operation since 1915. Our farm has been certified organic since 2000, synthetic chemical free since 1994, and reduced chemical usage since 1975. Now you can enjoy great quality Matcha from the place it all began - Japan. Thanks again for posting. Unfortunately, there is no way to attach a file here. Once we've created a link to access our Radiation Test, Metal Test, and Organic Certification, we'll once again post them here. But please do email ashley@kissmeorganics.com if you have further concerns. Best, Ashley Evans KissMeOrganics

This has not been an issue I felt I needed to address.My opened bag resides in back of my modest pantry in its' original plastic bag.This particular bag has been open for a least 6 mos.As I live in Arizona,humidity is not a factor.When making my tea I simply grab a handful and place it in a quart pitcher of tap water and let it steep cold in my refrigerator. I prefer my hibiscus as cold tea. I have not been disappointed with the results.I do not remove the petals from the pitcher.I have even reused them after the first usage.

What I did is as SOON as the tea was made, still HOT, I poured it into pint size STERILE canning jars. After the jars were cool I put them in the frig for safe keeping. I never had to throw out any tea gone bad because I basically "canned" the tea.

This works equally well as a tea pot, you just measure your fresh loose leaf tea and place it in the container, pour in the hot, not quite boiling water wait a minute or so and apply the press. Makes wonderful tea. Haven't used tea bags at this time but it would probably work well also.

Use deep pot, put purified water and tea, boil then low heat 10-12minutes. Take pot from heat and let it stay 12 hours and heat again until the surface move.Use cloth for strain. Keep in ref.

Once you have wet those leaves ...to me ... I there is no going back. I will steep more then a couple time through each gathering of leaves. Depending on the leaf. It's it's more then a couple hours I let them sit with the lid open. More things grow in moisture then dry. Mmmm tea

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.

I store mine as I do good loose leaf tea, in a sealed airtight container at room temperature away from heat or direct sunlight. I hope this helps.

If you are using the bulb tea, you will have to make a full pot. The pots aren't that big anyways. If you use loose tea leaves, then you can make a smaller amount. If want even smaller than don't use that pot.
