Details

Eight teas, eight different characters

The fresh total tea package puts eight of our loose-leaf teas in one box, 100 g of each and 800 g in total. There is a strong Earl Grey and the Black Dragon Tea oolong, Jasmine and Oriental Orange from the green tea side, Silencieuse white tea with rose, Forest Fruit pu-erh, Pure Rooibos and the Fresh Herbs herbal tea. It is a straightforward way to work out which style you actually reach for.

Brewing and caffeine

Use about 2 g of leaf per cup, which works out at roughly 50 cups from each 100 g bag, and brew it in a strainer, a filter bag or a pot with a built-in strainer so the leaves have room to open. Give the green teas water of about 80°C and two to three minutes; boiling water turns them bitter quickly. Earl Grey, the oolong and the rooibos take hotter water and a longer steep. The black, green and oolong teas contain caffeine, while Pure Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free and still works late in the evening.

The box also makes a straightforward tea gift for someone who drinks more than one kind of tea.

FAQ
Customer Questions
Which types of tea are in the Café du Jour complete tea package?

The package consists of eight bags of fresh loose-leaf tea of 100 grams each, deliberately chosen from different tea families.

The description of this package lists teas including Earl Grey (black tea), Pure Rooibos, Oriental Orange (green tea with orange), Jasmine, Forest Fruit, Silenceuse and Oolong. That way you taste the difference between black, green, oolong, rooibos and fruit tea all at once.

Does the tea in the complete tea package contain caffeine?

That differs per type. The black, green and oolong teas in this package come from the tea plant and therefore contain caffeine, also known as theine.

The Pure Rooibos is naturally caffeine free and so is perfectly fine for the evening. If in doubt, always take a quick look at the packaging of the type concerned.

How much loose-leaf tea do you use per cup and how many cups does this tea pack give you?

We use about 2 grams of loose-leaf tea per cup. A 100 gram bag therefore gives you around 50 cups.

Because this is loose-leaf tea, you need a tea strainer, a tea filter bag or a teapot with a built-in strainer. Give the leaves enough room to open up, so they release more flavour.

At what temperature do you brew the teas from the complete tea package?

For green tea, such as the Oriental Orange, we recommend water at around 80 degrees and a steeping time of 2 to 3 minutes. Boiling water quickly makes green tea bitter.

Black tea such as Earl Grey and the rooibos can take hotter water and a longer steeping time. If a brewing recommendation is printed on the packaging of a particular tea, follow that.

How do you store the loose leaf tea from the complete tea package?

Store the tea dry, dark and well sealed, at room temperature. Light, moisture and air are the biggest enemies of aroma.

Also do not put the tea next to strong smelling products, because tea leaves easily take on smells. A closed storage tin in a kitchen cupboard works best.
