How many cups of tea can steep inside this teapot?

If you fill it almost to the brim, you will get two decent sized cups of tea. Or fill it about two thirds and get one full mug of tea for yourself. It is a great teapot.

Depends on tea cup size. Safely I can say 2. It is wonderful for personal use

It makes about two standard 6 oz cups of tea and a little bit more. I use a small mug 8 oz? and get about one and a half mugs out of it. Make sure you hold the lid when pouring your tea as it does not have a catch on it.

The teapot holds about 12 oz when completely full. The cups hold about 2 oz.

I just filled my tea pot where I feel it would be safe and not too full. Measured it out and it was 700mls. A 8oz cup is 240mls so 2cups is 480mls and so on. At least 3 8oz cups would work.

The cups hold 1/4 cup Each, the teapot holds a cup and a half.........I just measured using regulation measuring cups., hope this helps., I've purchased two of these sets, already.

It holds about 4 cups. It is the perfect size to share a few cups of tea with a friend. I really like this pot and use it a lot. It pours really well also.

Basically, yes! How long you steep the tea depends on the kind of tea you use. If you use black tea (like English Breakfast) you should steep 4-5 minutes. Whatever tea you buy will have instructions on the package about how much to use (black tea is 1 tsp per cup) and how long to steep.

1 sachet per cup of 8 ozs hot water. However, if you like your tea a little weaker, use 2 to 3 ozs more water for 2 cups.

150 probably. it is huge! not practical with tea. It works great for herbs and spices when you make a big pot of broth or soup.

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.

honestly I don't know.But its a big bag and I expect about 200 to 300 cups out of it.It also depends how much you use per cup.I have a "tea-egg" that gets filled up with the tea so as not to spill the little leaves into the cup,and that makes for a uniform usage and strength of tea.Hope that helps,Bernd

No. You have these choices: 175-180-190-200-212. I use 180 to steep green tea and 200 for my French presses.

A lot! I only use this for individual cups of tea so it is near empty still when I use it. I would guess it would hold about 3/4 cup when full, so about half of that leaving room for expansion? You could really use it to brew a pot.

Depends on the kind of tea. You need a specific temperature for some teas and also a specific steep time. It could also be you should add more tea to the brew. Sorry my answer is so vague. I remember when I first started with this kettle thinking about how much tea to add to the cage since it brews more then one cup at a time.

It depends on the size of the tea cups you use. I can serve up to 4-6 people using mine (small saucers) but actual measurement holds 2.5-3 cups using the enclosed strainer. The tea stays warm close to a hour. Hope you get it and enjoy!

I am not sure. This was a present to my son. He did say that the teapot is a good size though. They love it and I know that it serves more than two at a time. I would imagine that it would be worth a try to put an infuser in it. I am thinking the the diameter would be about 2.5 to 3". I have a little smaller teapot (different brand) and I measured it and it is 2.5. I would try the 3".

The instructions call for one bag to 4 cups of water, but it just depends on how strong you want your tea.

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
