Chun Mee - green tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose tea

We are not allowed to sell this tea as organic. We buy the Chun Mee from our supplier as organic tea, but our EU organic certification does not yet apply to the packing of tea. That is why there is no organic label on the packaging and we do not call the product organic.

Yes. Chun Mee is a real green tea from the tea plant and therefore naturally contains caffeine, also known as theine. How much ends up in your cup depends on your dose and steeping time: the longer you let it steep, the more caffeine. If you want a cup without caffeine, choose rooibos or a herbal infusion.

We recommend about 2 grams of loose tea per cup, which is a generous teaspoon. Use water of about 80 degrees and let the leaves steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Boiling water quickly makes green tea bitter, so let boiled water cool down for a moment first. If you find this tea too strong, shorten the steeping time rather than using less tea.

Allow about 2 grams of loose tea per cup. So this 100 gram pack gives you roughly 50 cups. If you brew the tea stronger or use a whole pot, you will of course end up with fewer cups.

Yes, Chun Mee consists of loose tea leaves, so you need a tea strainer, a tea filter or a teapot with a filter. A paper or cotton filter bag works fine too. After use, store the tea dry, dark and well sealed, that way the flavour stays at its best the longest.
