I just white monkey tea. I know that it is supposed to be made at 180 Fahrenheit. My question is how much tea to use? Do I use a similar amount as if I were making black tea, or more like a white tea? thanks

White teas tend to be fluffier than black teas, so I'd recomend using more by volume. It would be the same by weight if you're weighing it though.

White Monkey is techinally a green tea, but due to the big voluminous tea leaves, I would treat it as a white. When I make white monkey, I usually do 1.5 rounded teaspoons per cup (since I usually make two cup teas, that comes to 3 teaspoons). If you are just doing a one cup tea then I would recommend using 2 teaspoons.

Also remember that white monkey is a very light, delicate tea. So, if you are used to making black teas, then this will taste very different. Make sure that you get a whiff of the aroma before you drink it as that helps you taste it better.

Hope that helps.
