Green tea leaves

Hari Chai Patti

1.5 g1 teaspoon

4.5 g1 tablespoon

Loose-leaf bulk density about 0.3 g/ml; 4.93 ml gives about 1.5 g.

Green tea's fresh vegetal note is not truly replaced by black tea, only approximated.

• 
  Tea leaf

  Use about 75% of the weight; black tea is stronger and more astringent, so steep for less time.

• 
  Tea bag

  Use one tea bag (about 2 g) for every 2 g of green tea leaves; expect a darker, stronger brew.
