Confusion over Chamomile tea packet instructions brewing size
I love chamomile tea and have been drinking Traditional Medicinals' brand for years. But I'm just now noticing something odd about the instructions on the box and packets when it comes to brewing sizes.
It says pour 8 oz freshly boiled water over 2 tea bags.
2 tea bags for 8 oz of water? Is this a typo? Says same thing on both box and each packet.
I have four other teas by this same brand and they all say 1 tea bag for 8 oz water.
I don't think chamomile is weak enough to warrant 2 bags. Heck, I always use extra water, with the 1 bag, and it is plenty strong and tasty enough.
This is specifically for their chamomile and lavender tea. I'll have to check later for their plain chamomile tea.
Do other brands recommend this same method as well? I'd really like to know because I started drinking this tea for its health benefits. If I'm not getting enough of them from just 1 bag per serving I'd like to know.
