Cactus & Sencha - Green Tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose tea

What is Cactus & Sencha Green Tea?

Cactus tea is a loose-leaf green tea blend that combines sencha with real cactus blossoms. This blend from Café du Jour brings together the grassy, fresh character of sencha and the gentle sweetness of cactus flower in one cup. The result is a light, floral infusion that feels both familiar and surprising.

What does cactus and sencha green tea taste like?

Sencha gives the tea a clean, slightly vegetal base. The cactus blossoms (2.5%) add a soft, natural sweetness that rounds off the grassy notes without overpowering them. A touch of flavouring ties the two together, giving each cup a smooth, balanced finish.

What is in this blend?

The ingredients are straightforward: green tea, cactus blossoms (2.5%), and flavouring. No unnecessary extras. The loose-leaf format keeps the tea fresh and lets the full flavour of the blend come through.

How do you use Cactus & Sencha Green Tea?

Brewing cactus tea as a loose-leaf tea is simple and gives you full control over the strength of your cup. Use a tea strainer, infuser basket, or teapot with a built-in filter to get good results.

Brewing guide

1. Use about 2 to 3 grams of loose tea per 200 ml of water (roughly one heaped teaspoon).
2. Heat water to around 70 to 80 degrees Celsius. Boiling water can make green tea taste bitter.
3. Steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Taste as you go and adjust the steeping time to your preference.
4. Remove the leaves and enjoy your cup. You can re-steep the leaves once or twice for a lighter infusion.

A 100-gram pack yields approximately 40 to 50 cups, depending on how much tea you use per brew. That makes it a practical choice for daily enjoyment.
