So my sister is planning a wedding shower for a friend. The theme is “A Cup of Tea for the Bride to Be”. For party favours, my sister wants to put a few tsp of tea into a decorative box. She needs to make about 80 of them.
So here is a transcript of our conversation last night:
Her: “I don’t know what kind of tea to get”
Me: “Get Glitter and Gold, that’s her favorite”
Her: “How do you know that?”
Me: “You told me that before”
Her: “That was a million years ago. You are so weird you remembered that. You’re obsessed. How much tea do I buy?”
Me: “Well I usually assume 50g is about 20 tsp of tea, give or take”
Her: “I can’t believe you know how much tea 50g makes. You’re obsessed”
Me: shrugs in agreement.
Haha. So when we got home my sis opened the package of tea and smelled it and says it smelled weird. So I smelled it and said it smells normal. It smells like sugar and vanilla. My sis says no it smells like caramel. And I respond with, and you think that is weird. She had no response.
So I made a few cups. It was good. My sis thought it was just OK. It was sweet and vanilla-y and creamy to me. I made it a bit weak because it was at night. Still one of my favs!

That’s awesome. :) The whole wedding theme and favours etc.
So, 50g = 20 cups of tea? Roughly? I should make note of that in my spreadsheet. I have a rough idea of how many oz I have and am trying to estimate how many DAYS it would take me to drink it all.
Y’know… just to slow me down on buying more.
Those are the general guidelines I go buy, 50 g = 20 cups. Obviously the bigger/heavier/fluffier the tea will change that. I just parcelled out a loose black tea with almond slivers in it (so a bit bulky), 50g gave me 21.5 tsp.
Ha ha I know what you mean. Doesn’t seem like 20 cups of tea when it is in that little brown bag/foil packet.
