Hi Melinda,

I have a 125 g/ 4 oz balance scale (not digital). I did not have a broken
leaf Assam or Ceylon on hand but I do have Rungagora Estate Assam TGFOP. It
is the last teaspoon in the bag--small tips, broken pieces and some dust. I
measured a level teaspoon and got between 1.8 - 1.9 g (hard to be absolutely
accurate with full gram hash marks and an air bubble). I would say that for
the broken leaf, this would be fairly close...you could round it up to 2g.
