Tea Ratio Converter
Choose a tea, method and water volume to calculate a practical leaf-to-water starting point in your browser.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Enter the water volume.
- Choose the tea type and brewing method.
- Review the suggested leaf weight, ratio and temperature.
Ratio assumptions
The source page states roughly 1 g per 100 ml for Western brewing and 5–8 g per 100 ml for gongfu. This tool uses the midpoint (6.5 g per 100 ml) for a single gongfu estimate and labels it as a starting point.
Temperature assumptions
The source says temperature varies by tea but does not publish a table. The temperatures in this tool are practical starting assumptions, not sourced measurements.
GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
Why is gongfu more leaf-heavy?
The source describes gongfu as short, repeated infusions with a high leaf-to-water ratio, while Western brewing uses a lower ratio over minutes.
Are the temperatures authoritative?
No. The source page does not provide exact tea-type temperatures, so these are clearly marked starting assumptions to adjust by tea and taste.
