Editorial starting points for typical whole-leaf tea; timing is the first infusion and volume is actual water added. Adapt for broken or compressed leaf and preference. Use the quantity as a starting point; the tea and brewing method also affect strength. Start with the suggested amount or lower end of a range, then adjust later infusions by taste.
