Different teas require different amount of tea for a liter. The number is usually supplied as grams, which is too much work on a daily basis.

As I am in charge of the tea club at work I have previously measured the number of 'spoons' needed to achieve the appropriate weight, but I only have one spoon of that size, and measuring out 3½ spoons.... well....

Solution: printable measuring spoons!

Please remember that 3D prints are generally not food safe, as there are ridges and little holes which cannot be cleaned. I do believe 3D prints are fine for measuring out dry tea.

The measuring spoons are available from 20ml to 70ml in 5ml increments. Hopefully this will enable me, and others, to find an appropriate spoon size for any tea (or other dry material).

Please note that there are currently files for two versions; v5: Long handles and thick enough walls that the spoons feel hard. The long handle can take up more space in your jar than you might prefer) v6: Short handles and thinner walls which make the spoon feel flexible.
