1 for the pot is an old wives' tale, I suspect started by those who like a
stiff brew.

Yes, Upton adheres to the tea standard of a 6 oz. cup. I don't know where it
is on the website, if present, but it is stated in the hard-copy catalog.

Start out w/ 2 g per 6 oz cup. Modify from there to suit your personal taste
after you gain experience with a tea. For example, for most teas for me, I
figure per 8 oz, but others, I figure per 6 oz.
