Oriental Orange - Green Tea 100 g - Café du Jour loose tea

A citrus green tea from Café du Jour: loose leaf, with orange peel, eucalyptus and juniper berry blended through it.

Best with water just off the boil and a short steep. 100 g of loose tea, to brew in a pot, an infuser or a cup with a strainer.
Oriental Orange
A green tea with orange: loose leaf, with orange peel, eucalyptus and juniper berry blended through it. The citrus is the first thing you notice, but the green tea underneath keeps it from tasting like a fruit cordial.
In the cup
Fresh and lightly zesty. Orange peel does the brightness, eucalyptus adds a cool, resinous note behind it and juniper berry a faint pine-like edge. The green tea itself stays grassy and clean rather than heavy, which is why this one works as an everyday cup rather than a novelty.
Brewing
Green tea does not want water at a rolling boil. Let the kettle stand a minute before you pour and keep the steep short: the citrus stays clean and the leaf does not turn bitter. A teapot, an infuser or a cup with a strainer all work for loose-leaf tea, and a little extra leaf gives you a stronger cup without a longer steep.
