How to Use This Tool

Specify the total batch size in grams, then click Calculate to see the detailed blend breakdown. Use Reset to clear all fields and start over.
Formula and Logic
The calculator uses simple percentage-based allocation: for each tea type, the amount in grams is calculated as (ratio percentage / 100) * total batch size. The tool validates that all ratios are between 0 and 100 and that the sum equals exactly 100% before proceeding. This ensures a balanced blend without over- or under-portioning any ingredient.
Practical Notes
- For serving adjustments, consider scaling the batch size based on the number of cups you plan to brew—typically 2-3 grams per cup.
- Time-saving tip: Pre-measure common blends and store them in labeled containers for quick daily use.
- Cost considerations: Buying tea in bulk can reduce per-gram costs; compare prices for different types to optimize your blend budget.
- Common unit conversions: 1 ounce ≈ 28.35 grams; use this if you purchase tea by weight in ounces.
