What size glass jar should I buy to hold one pound of this tea?

I put mine - bag clipped with clothespin - into a gallon ziplock and into the freezer (thinking that will keep it fresher). I would think it would easily fit in a quart-size glass jar - actually even smaller. I'd make sure it was an air tight jar.

About 1.5 liters. I have a 1 liter jar which is a bit small, so the remainder stays in the bag and I use that first.

I've been a fan of Market Spice Tea for over 20 years. Here's what I do. Get a quart or larger glass or terracotta container w/ an air tight lid. Keep that on you counter top. Keep the rest in the freezer. Looking at the other comments, I see that's what they suggest.

If I were you, I would keep the bag in the freezer, and just keep out as much as you can use in a few weeks. If you keep it at room temperature for a long time it will go rancid, and it does take a while to go through a whole 1 pound bag (I have 1-2 cups a day, and it takes me at least 6 months).

Definitely larger than a quart jar - maybe a half gallon, but I agree with S. Deering that you should freeze what you won't be consuming soon. We do that all the time.

A large glass spaghetti sauce jar with screw on lid should hold most, if not all the tea. If there is any excess, put in smaller jar and use first. Hope this helps!

It doesn't all fit in a large size mason jar or whatever it is that I use. But I don't think you'd want anything larger than a quart. What doesn't fit in the jar I use, I just put in its bag in a freezer bag and keep it in the freezer till there's room in the big jar and I haven't noticed any problem with that.

It fits in a half gallon jar, and Marketspice has one for sale for $6.95 on their website, www.marketspice.com.

I put mine - bag clipped with clothespin - into a gallon ziplock and into the freezer (thinking that will keep it fresher). I only have about 2 cups a day, so it lasts several months. I would think it would fit in a pint-sized glass jar. I'd make sure it had an air tight lid.

I drink a lot of tea but never figured how many cups per lb. All loose tea should be kept in air tight glass or metal containers. Never in plastic. I use small jars and put sone of the tea in the rest goes in the freezer. That way it lasts for a long time and is always fresh.

It's not about pounds but more about size. Each side will hold 2 jugs of arizona tea. 128 oz. each or 512 oz. total. They are very sturdy and handle wet weather well. This is a good product! http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=arizona%20tea%20128%20oz%20

The rule of thumb is 1 tsp. (level) for each 8 oz. cup and 1 tsp. for the pot. So you should use 7 tsp. for your 48 oz. pot. This should work just fine. The grind of the tea used is a consideration also. If finely ground 1 level tsp. is fine. If roughly ground you may want to use a little more but this teaball should be more than adequate for whatever grind you use.

Given that you use a couple tablespoons per brewed cup, it's hard to say how long you will keep this. I'd say keep it well sealed, press the extra air from the package, and it may last quite a while. It's damned fine tea.

I would save my money. This jar, although the size is great, arrived and not able to open it. I'd go with the glass ones that they have on Amazon. They were a good price each, arrived on time, AND the large sizes will easily allow things to be stored. The only thing is those do not have the large wide opening. Your other option would be to get gallon sized ziplock bag, and put as much flour in it as you could. That would probably serve the purpose and cost a whole lot less money for you.

I use 5 oz. kitchen cups and they work well and are a nice size. Good luck.

Very difficult! If you want something this large and made of glass to carry around, then you should look for a Sun Tea jar that has a screw on lid with a flip up handle.

I have two of the 67 3/4 oz jars. The opening is a little bigger than a wide mouth mason jar. We have one oblong shaped 1 cup that will fit inside, but just barely and is not very maneuverable. Plus, you would not be able to reach bottom with it. A common round type 1 cup does not fit in at all. If you have small hands you could use a smaller measuring cup pretty effectively.

I would use 3 tea bags. But please! Venture into loose tea, you will love it!

Three tablespoons of tea is all that this will hold in the bottom half. I doubt that would be enough for two gallons of decent strength tea.

I would suggest the 5.5 quart. I think I'm going to order one of those today. Good luck.

I filled this mug to the brim and then poured it into a measuring cup. It was just shy of 16 oz. But since you wouldn't fill your mug to the brim except by accident it is more likely to be used to hold 12 oz. It is a perfect size mug for a large tea or coffee.

From tip to top this little gem is 4" across. A cup with a diameter of 3-1/2" would probably work best. The cup size, 2-1/4" in diameter, fits perfectly onto the top of a 5 ounce Kerr jam/jelly jar.

Sorry that I can't give you a definitive answer since it was returned. The knob on the cover was broken. My eyeball assessment would be the 5 oz. teacup size.

I would think amounts of tea or whatever are per your own preference, as it states it only holds 16 ounces at a time. You can easily see how strong it's going to be and adjust. I've never had a need to take it apart, the tea leaves stay in the top open part. It would be washable in the dishwasher just by propping the lid open.

My wife and I have various sized tea bags. We tend to do a trial and error depending on the tea you use. For normal, one cup, lipton sized bags; we use about 6 for mild tea, and 8-10 when we want it stronger. We also have some chinese loose tea that we also use. Most will depend on how strong you want, plus a trial and error.
