Star mix without mint - Herbal tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose tea

What is star mix herbal tea?

Sterrenmix tea is a classic herbal infusion built around the bold, sweet flavours of star anise and liquorice. This version from Café du Jour keeps things simple: five botanicals, no mint and no fillers. It is by nature free of caffeine and low in tannins, so the taste stays smooth from the first sip to the last. You get exactly what the name promises – a proper, old-school star mix in a 100-gram loose leaf format.

Five botanicals, nothing more

The ingredient list is short on purpose. Every component plays a role in the flavour, and there is nothing added just to bulk out the pack.

• Fennel – adds a mild, slightly sweet background note
• Liquorice – thick-cut pieces that give a deep, earthy sweetness
• Star anise – the signature flavour of the blend
• Aniseed – reinforces the anise character
• Juniper berries – a subtle, resinous edge that rounds out the cup

Who is it suitable for?

This herbal blend suits anyone who loves the warm, sweet taste of liquorice and anise. Because it contains no caffeine by nature, you can enjoy a cup at any point during the day or evening. The low tannin level keeps the flavour gentle and smooth, without the sharpness you sometimes find in other herbal infusions. If you prefer your tea without mint or artificial extras, this is a straightforward choice.

A good fit for different occasions

• A warming cup after a meal
• A naturally caffeine-free alternative in the afternoon or evening
• A thoughtful gift for tea lovers who enjoy traditional anise flavours
• An everyday loose leaf herbal tea for those who like to keep things simple

How do you use star mix herbal tea?

Brewing loose leaf herbal tea is straightforward. You just need a tea strainer, an infuser basket or a teapot with a built-in filter. Place the leaves and botanicals in your infuser, pour freshly boiled water over them and let the blend steep until the flavour reaches the strength you like. Because this sterrenmix tea contains no caffeine by nature, there is no need to rush – a longer steep simply deepens the anise and liquorice notes.

How many cups does 100 grams make?

A standard serving of loose herbal tea is roughly 2 to 3 grams per cup. That means 100 grams gives you approximately 33 to 50 cups, depending on how strong you like your brew. You can adjust the amount to suit your own taste.
