That is a good question Micheal. I received this message from Tetley:

Two 175ml cups may be brewed from one teabag.
Thank you for choosing Tetley!

I assume that you can make a brew of 350ml with one bag. I'm really
not sure. I would advise experimenting yourslef. Not sure how altitude
would affect your tea.

Hope that helped at least a little
