Greetings,
Lately I've been making my tea with ~8 grams dry per 1 cup of water. I crush & grind the dried mush down in a mortar and pestle, soak the material in the juice of 1/2-3/4 of a lemon for 15 mins, then add a cup of water, bring to a boil, let boil for a minute or so, then steep for 15 mins. Finally, I filter out the material with a stainless steel Kone filter, discard material, and consume the tea.
I've heard a rule of thumb for preparing tea is generally 5 grams dried per 1 cup of water - I definitely notice a difference with 8. Also, even with the 8 grams the 1 cup of water to material ratio is still very much in the water's favor.
I've been curious about how much dry you think I could get into 1 cup of water before it becomes completely saturated with goodies and I start to see diminished returns on potency. I'll be experimenting myself but just wondered if anyone had any insight on this. Thanks!

I'm curious to this question myself.

I've made teas with 10g to 8 oz water. I'm sure like you said, that the water can still hold plenty of goodies without becoming saturated to the point of not being able to hold any more.

-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Ok, my new max is 15gm in 8oz of liquid. With this much I've switched to several layers of grade 90 cheesecloth for straining. The cheesecloth is great because you can grab hold of it and wring out pretty much last drop of liquid. Prior to that I was losing a noticeable amount of liquid on account of it being trapped in the mush, even though I tried to press it out. The cheesecloth filters well too, I highly recommend the grade 90 cheesecloth.
