Tea Infusion Tools

The tremendous range of leaf styles in loose leaf teas makes measuring by volume imprecise. Our digital pocket scale solves this problem by weighing your tea leaves in grams. We recommend 2.25 grams of tea leaves per every 6 ounces of water. Precisely calibrated at the factory, this handy scale also offers five additional weighing modes – oz (ounces), ct (carats), gn (grains), dwt (pennyweight), and ozt (troy ounce). For those who wish to periodically calibrate their scale according to the instructions found inside the scale’s lid, we offer a 200g calibration weight (AR45). Note: This tea scale measures 5" long by 3" wide with a 3" x 2.5" platform. It requires 2 AAA batteries, which are included with the scale. One year limited warranty.

Constructed of stainless steel, this handy, double-sided tea scoop makes spooning your loose leaf tea quick and easy, whether steeping in a teapot or a cup. This substantial scoop measures 7 ¾” long, with the teapot scoop on one end and the cup scoop on the other end. The Teapot Scoop measures 1 ¾” in diameter with a 1 1/8” depth. Based on an average size tea leaf (such as TA40 ), this scoop will hold the equivalent of approximately 6 flat measuring teaspoons (30mL, or 2 flat measuring tablespoons). The Cup Scoop measures 1 ¼” in diameter with a 5/8” depth. This scoop will hold the equivalent of approximately 1.3 teaspoons (6.5 mL, or a rounded measuring teaspoon). When using a larger than average size leaf, adjust your number of scoops according to the teaspoon guidelines on the tea label.

The Upton Tea Imports thermometer features a custom three-colored temperature dial, indicating the suggested temperature for steeping tea. The dial is divided into three ranges: Green Tea: 140-180 degrees Oolong Tea: 180-200 degrees Black Tea: up to 212 degrees At Upton Tea imports, we find it easiest to use an electric kettle to heat the water to the boiling point, then insert the stem of the thermometer into the kettle between the lid and rim, and monitor the temperature until it lowers to the desired level. Caution: Let the water cool slightly before removing the lid of a kettle and use extreme caution to avoid exposure to hot steam."
