How many tea bags are used for small hot teas?

For small hot teas at Dutch Bros, the practice is to use one tea bag. This standard helps ensure that the tea is properly infused, providing a consistent flavor and strength that aligns with customer expectations. Using just one tea bag allows for a balanced taste without overwhelming the drink with bitterness, which can occur with excessive steeping or using too many bags. Each tea bag is designed to deliver a concentrated flavor when steeped in the appropriate amount of hot water, making it ideal for smaller servings.

The other options do not align with the standard preparation method for small hot teas, which emphasizes clarity and consistency in flavor.
