Cardamom & Vanilla - Green tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose leaf tea

Allow about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup and use water at around 80 degrees. Let the tea steep for 2 to 3 minutes.

We advise against using boiling water, because it makes green tea bitter. Since this is loose leaf tea, you will need a tea strainer or a filter bag.

A 100 gram bag gives you about 50 cups, based on around 2 grams of tea per cup.

Store the tea dry, dark and well sealed, for example in the original packaging or in a tea tin. That way the spicy notes are preserved the longest.

Loose leaf tea easily absorbs odours, so do not put it next to strong smelling products. The fridge is not a good place to store it.
