Default What puer to water ratio do you use?

i just dropped too much (4 tsp - with one of those tsp measuring
device) into ~9oz 190F water and also forgot it about 5 minutes...
came out rather strong and bitter/strongly astringent, somewhat
unpleasant to drink :P

took a pinch of those wet leaves, about 1 tsp, about 4oz water, and
left about 2 minutes, taste came out better, but mild, with a touch of
sweetness...

Depends on whether it is cooked or raw. I start out with about 7gr of
leaf to 12oml of water for cooked, only 5gr of leaf for raw, then
adjust to taste.
