Assortment sleeve - Sunleaf - 12 x 25 tea bags

Twelve flavours, 300 tea bags

The Sunleaf assortment sleeve holds 12 boxes of 25 tea bags: 300 bags in total, each one sealed in its own sachet. A box holds one flavour only, so the blends stay apart and people can take what they want without rummaging. The make-up of the sleeve is fixed — you cannot put it together yourself.

Which flavours are in it

Sunleaf names all twelve: the black teas English Blend, Earl Grey, Forest Fruit, Strawberry and Apple Cinnamon; the green teas Green Tea, Green Tea Lemon, Green Tea Jasmine and Green Tea Mint; and the caffeine-free infusions Rooibos, Star Mint and Ginger Lemongrass.

Which boxes contain caffeine

The black and green teas, including the fruit-flavoured Forest Fruit, Strawberry and Apple Cinnamon, naturally contain caffeine, also called theine. Rooibos, Star Mint and Ginger Lemongrass have none at all. Each box states which type of tea it holds, so anyone avoiding caffeine later in the day can see which ones to leave alone.

Where the tea comes from

Sunleaf Tea® is picked, processed, blended and packed in the south of India. The herbal and fruit infusions are a different matter: the rooibos in this sleeve comes from South Africa, because that is where rooibos grows.

Brewing and storing

One bag per cup, and go by the advice on the box of whichever flavour you are making. Green tea wants water of around 80°C and two to three minutes, because boiling water turns it bitter; black tea takes hotter water and a longer steep. Keep the boxes dry, dark and well closed.
