Café du Jour Fresh loose tea best seller package

This package puts four Café du Jour loose-leaf teas in one box: Wicca, Earl Grey, Islands of the Netherlands and Crunchy Apple Pie. Each comes in its own 100 g pack, so you get 400 g in total — about 200 cups at roughly a teaspoon per cup, or some 50 cups from each pack.

The four teas

• Earl Grey — black tea scented with bergamot, the classic citrus note
• Crunchy Apple Pie — a flavoured tea, warm and sweet in the cup
• Wicca — a Café du Jour blend
• Islands of the Netherlands — a Café du Jour blend

Why four packs rather than one

Four separate 100 g packs last a long time without tying you to 400 g of a single tea, so you find out which of the four you actually reach for in the morning and which you save for the afternoon. The same thing makes it work as a tea gift: four separate packs, ready to hand over as they are, covering a classic black tea, a flavoured one and two house blends.

Loose leaf, no bags

All four are loose leaf, so you will want an infuser, a strainer or a teapot with a built-in filter. Measure about a teaspoon per cup and let the steeping time do the rest: shorter for a lighter cup, longer for a stronger one. Water temperature and steeping time are not the same for every blend — the flavoured and black teas take boiling water, so follow what suits each one.
