No, Morning Glow is a herbal blend without tea leaf and therefore caffeine free. The blend consists of lemongrass, ginger, pieces of pineapple and papaya and flower petals, and contains no green or black tea. So you can drink this ginger tea in the evening too.

Yes, English Blend is a black tea and therefore contains caffeine, also known as theine. It is a full and powerful blend, which makes it suitable as a tea with breakfast or mid morning. If you would rather avoid caffeine in the evening, choose a herbal or rooibos infusion.

This Matcha Green Tea Latte Mix is a ready to use mix for a matcha latte. Besides matcha (6 percent) it contains sugar, coconut oil and milk protein among other ingredients, which makes your drink soft, creamy and lightly sweetened. Pure matcha powder consists only of ground green tea, without sugar or milk components, and therefore tastes stronger and more bitter. If you want the traditional, unsweetened matcha, choose the pure matcha powder instead of this latte mix.

That depends on your machine. For an espresso machine you grind fine (espresso grind), for a pour over filter such as a V60, Melitta or Moccamaster you use filter grind, and for the ground coffee chute of a Jura, percolator grind is the right one.

Filter grind and percolator grind are not interchangeable. Percolator grind is coarser and gives a weak cup in a filter machine, while filter grind is too fine for a percolator and clogs up.

If you have a bean to cup machine, you do not need to choose anything: it grinds the beans itself.

This coffee has been decaffeinated, but completely zero caffeine does not exist. In the EU, roasted decaffeinated coffee has a legal maximum of 0.1 percent caffeine, so a small residual amount always remains.

That is a fraction of what is in regular coffee. If you are very sensitive to caffeine, do take that small remainder into account.

For a normal cup you use one pod in the 1 cup pod holder. If you want two cups at once or a large mug, use the 2 cup holder with two pods.

Making a large mug with one pod is possible, but the coffee will be watery because the same amount of coffee is spread over more water.

So this pack of 48 pods gives you about 48 normal cups or 24 double ones.

Morning Glow contains lemongrass, ginger, candied pineapple pieces, candied papaya pieces, sweet blackberry leaves, helichrysum, mullein flower, flavouring and natural flavouring. The ginger provides the spicy note, the lemongrass the fresh side and the candied fruit the soft, tropical finish. This is loose leaf tea, so you will find the loose leaves, pieces and flowers back in the packaging.

Use 1 tea bag per cup and pour water of 100 degrees over it. Let the tea steep for 3 to 4 minutes. If you want a milder cup, take the bag out of the water a little earlier. Black tea can handle boiling water, so you do not have to let the water cool down.

Take 1 glass of milk, or half milk and half water, and add 3 heaped teaspoons of Matcha Green Tea Latte Mix. Blend it all with a blender or milk frother into a smooth, creamy drink. You do not need to strain the mix, because the powder dissolves completely. To taste, add ice cubes, honey or a pinch of cinnamon.

Unopened, coffee keeps for about a year. The exact date is on the packaging, but coffee tastes best within about three months.

Store the bag cool, dark and tightly closed, for example in a kitchen cupboard and not next to the cooker or in the sun. Do not put the beans in the fridge, because there they take on moisture and odours.

With a 1 kilo bag you can pour part of it into an airtight storage tin and leave the rest closed until you need it.

During decaffeination the bean loses part of its oils and soluble substances. Those are exactly what create a firm, lasting crema, so a thin crema that disappears quickly is normal with decaf and is not down to your settings.

If you do want a bit more crema, try a slightly higher dose, grind slightly coarser so that you reach a double amount in around 25 to 30 seconds, and use a higher brewing temperature.

Coffee that has been open for a long time gives less crema anyway, so use the beans as fresh as possible.

These pods are filled with decaffeinated Arabica and Robusta beans, but completely zero caffeine does not exist. In the EU, roasted decaffeinated coffee may contain a maximum of 0.1 percent caffeine, so a small residual amount remains.

In practice that is a fraction of what is in regular coffee, which makes these pods suitable for later in the day as well. If you are very sensitive to caffeine, do take that small remainder into account.

We recommend about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup, which is a generous teaspoon. Pour water of about 100 degrees over the tea and let it steep for 5 to 7 minutes. The longer you let it steep, the stronger the ginger comes through. Because this is loose leaf tea, use a tea strainer, tea filter or filter bag.

Yes, English Blend is certified organic and Fairtrade. The tea leaves come from organic cultivation and the growers are paid fairly for their work through Fairtrade. This tea is number 1 in the Tea Leaves Collection from Tea Cultures.

This latte mix is 6 percent matcha and matcha is green tea, so the mix is not caffeine free. The exact caffeine content per cup is not stated on the packaging. If you want no caffeine at all, choose a herbal or rooibos infusion.
