How Much per Cuppa Have You Been Paying?

Are you still paying premium prices at high street shops for non-premium tea bags? It’s time to reconsider and explore a more authentic and affordable tea experience.

Not all "premium" teas truly live up to the label. At Formosa Tea Co., we value not only the quality of our tea but also the value for money it offers. We provide top-quality teas that stand the test of multiple brews—up to six times or more! This can only be achieved with truly top-quality tea, ensuring you get the best value and flavour from every gram of our loose leaf tea.

Understanding the Cost Per Cuppa

The cost per cuppa is an estimated cost based on the minimum requirement that can be expected from any reasonable quality tea. The better the quality of the tea, the more steepings can be achieved (subject to personal taste). Quality tea will allow you to utilise the multiple steeping method, maximising the value of each gram of premium oolong tea you use, making every cup a cost-efficient luxury.

Let’s break down why you should calculate the price per cup—this is the real cost you’re paying for your tea. Here’s how we do it:

1. Standard Brewing Guide: With a 1:50 tea-to-water ratio, use 5 grams of loose leaf tea to brew a 250ml cup. This method can be used as a standard to compare different teas, as well as to evaluate the strength and flavour in each cup.

2. Multiple Steeps: One of the great benefits of high-quality loose leaf tea is that you can steep the same leaves multiple times. With our teas, you can steep the same 5 grams of tea leaves at least three times, yielding 750ml of tea (equivalent to 3 cups of 250ml each).

3. Cost Calculation: Let’s crunch the numbers. For a 75g pack of our premium tea priced at £11.95, you get about 45 cups of tea. This breaks down to approximately £0.27 per cup (£11.95 ÷ 45 cups). With more brews, the cost would be even lower.

Of course, the cost per cup can vary based on your personal brewing preferences and how many times you choose to steep the leaves. Some may prefer a stronger brew with fewer steeps, while others might enjoy a lighter tea with more steeps. Either way, our teas offer flexibility to suit your taste and budget.

Conclusion

Choosing our premium loose leaf tea is not only a delicious choice but also a smart, economical one. Starting at just £0.27 per cup, you can enjoy a high-quality tea experience without overspending. We hope you will our teas and discover the perfect blend of affordability and luxury in every cup.
