Loose Tea starter pack - 4 x 100 gram of loose tea with tea filter and tea spoon

What is a loose tea starter pack?

A loose tea starter pack gives you everything you need to brew loose leaf tea at home. This pack from Café du Jour contains four different teas, a measuring spoon and a tea strainer, so you can start brewing straight away. All you need to add is hot water.

The four teas included are Wicca, Earl Grey, Islands of the Netherlands and Crunchy Apple Pie. Each variety comes in a 100 gram pack, giving you 400 grams of loose leaf tea in total. That is enough for around 200 cups.

What is in the pack?

• 4 x 100 gram loose leaf tea: Wicca, Earl Grey, Islands of the Netherlands and Crunchy Apple Pie
• A measuring spoon sized for exactly one cup of tea
• A luxurious tea strainer suitable for a cup or a pot of tea

Who is it suitable for?

This loose tea starter pack is made for anyone who wants to try loose leaf tea for the first time. If you are used to tea bags and want to explore a wider range of flavours, this kit is a straightforward way to begin. You do not need any prior experience or extra equipment.

The pack also works well as a loose tea gift set. Whether you are buying for someone who loves tea or for a friend who is curious about loose leaf brewing, the variety of flavours and the included accessories make it a complete and thoughtful present.

Loose leaf tea vs tea bags

Loose leaf tea lets the leaves expand fully in the water, which brings out a richer and more rounded flavour than most tea bags allow. With the measuring spoon in this pack, you use the right amount every time, so each cup tastes consistent.

How do you use this starter pack?

Brewing loose leaf tea with this starter pack is simple. The measuring spoon holds the right amount of tea for one cup, and the strainer sits over your cup or pot to catch the leaves while you pour. Follow these steps to brew your first cup.

1. Use the measuring spoon to scoop loose leaf tea into the strainer.
2. Place the strainer over your cup or teapot.
3. Pour hot water over the tea and let it steep for the time that suits your taste.
4. Remove the strainer and enjoy your tea.

The strainer is suitable for both a single cup and a full pot, so you can brew for yourself or for guests. Each 100 gram pack makes around 50 cups, and with four packs you have roughly 200 cups in total.
