How long does a bag last if you are drinking one cup 3-4 times daily?

Great question! Typically, one ounce will make 10-15 six-ounce cups of tea, depending on how strong you like it. The volume of an ounce of dry tea leaves can vary quite a bit, though. Some of the ingredients are light and fluffy, while others are dense.

What do I put the tea leaves in when I brew it?

You may use our tea ball infuser, to hold the leaves or put them loose in the pot, then pour through a strainer.

How big is a teacup?

A teacup is considered to be 6 fluid ounces, like a coffee cup. So when we say to use 1 tsp. of leaves per cup, if your cup is 8 ounces, you may need to use a bit more leaves to get a full-strength cup

How much tea do I use to make a pot?

Depends on your pot. To measure your pot, fill it almost full with water (leave enough room for an infuser with tea leaves) and pour the contents into a large measuring cup. Divide the number of ounces by 6. This will tell you how many cups your pot holds. Use one teaspoon of leaves per cup. Some like to throw in an extra teaspoon "for the pot." Try it both ways and see what you think. It's a personal preference. The proper amount to use per cup will vary from tea to tea and to your own taste.

What's the difference between a tea kettle and a teapot?

Use a kettle to boil water and a teapot to brew tea.

How long do I steep (or brew) the tea?

This can vary significantly from tea to tea, but there are rules of thumb. Our herbal teas need 5-10 minutes, and they generally don't get bitter, so you can let them brew as long as you like. In general, finely cut teas, whether black, green, or herbal, require shorter brewing times than large leaf teas.

At what point during my 3rd trimester should I start drinking this tea?

We always recommend consulting with your OB before using any NEW products since each pregnancy is individual and varies. However, we’d be happy to answer your question! The Bottom of the 9th tea helps prep for labor and can be used throughout the third trimester (but not before). You can drink it daily and it tastes great hot or cold!
