Early Bird is a green tea blend from Café du Jour, put together for the start of the day. Peppermint and lemongrass give it a fresh, minty lift with a citrus edge, while marigold and hibiscus close the cup off with a soft floral note. Green tea contains caffeine, a good deal less than coffee, which is what makes this a morning tea rather than an evening one. Loose, 100 g.

Details

A tea for the start of the day

Early Bird is a Café du Jour green tea blend built to wake you up rather than wind you down. Peppermint and lemongrass give it a fresh, minty lift with a citrus edge; marigold and hibiscus sit underneath and close the cup off with a soft floral note. The result is light and herbal, not grassy or heavy.

Caffeine, and when to drink it

The base is green tea, so there is caffeine in it — a good deal less than in coffee, but enough that this belongs in the morning rather than late at night. If you want a cup at bedtime, a blend with no green tea in it is the better choice.

Water temperature matters here

Green tea turns bitter quickly under water straight off the boil, so let the kettle stand a minute and aim for around 80°C. Use about 2 g of loose tea per cup, steep for two to three minutes, then lift the strainer or filter bag out so it stops brewing. At that dose a 100 g pack comes to roughly 50 cups, or a good 40 if you like it stronger.

FAQ

Customer Questions

What does the Early Bird green tea taste like?

This blend is fresh and invigorating. The base is green tea, complemented by peppermint, lemongrass, marigold and hibiscus. That gives a light minty freshness with a citrus note and a soft, slightly floral finish. That is exactly why this is a tea we recommend first thing in the morning.

Does this tea contain caffeine?

Yes. The base of this blend is green tea, which naturally contains caffeine, although the amount is a good deal lower than in coffee. Together with the invigorating herbs peppermint and lemongrass, that makes this tea particularly suitable as a morning tea. If you want a cup for the evening, it is better to choose a herbal blend without green tea.

What water temperature and steeping time are best for this green tea?

We recommend water of around 80 degrees Celsius and a steeping time of 2 to 3 minutes. Boiling water quickly makes green tea bitter. Allow around 2 grams of loose tea per cup, and take the tea strainer or filter bag out after steeping so the tea does not keep brewing.

How many cups of tea do I get from a 100 gram pack?

At around 2 grams per cup, 100 grams of loose tea gives you about 50 cups. If you prefer a slightly stronger cup, you will still get a good 40. Store the tea dry, dark and well sealed, so the aroma of the mint and the lemongrass is preserved for as long as possible.
