Early bird - green tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose tea

This blend is fresh and invigorating. The base is green tea, complemented by peppermint, lemongrass, marigold and hibiscus. That gives a light minty freshness with a citrus note and a soft, slightly floral finish. That is exactly why this is a tea we recommend for early in the morning.

Yes. The base of this blend is green tea, which naturally contains caffeine, although the amount is a good deal lower than in coffee. Together with the invigorating herbs peppermint and lemongrass, that makes this tea particularly suitable as a morning tea. If you want a cup for the evening, it is better to choose a herbal blend without green tea.

We recommend water of around 80 degrees Celsius and a steeping time of 2 to 3 minutes. Boiling water quickly makes green tea bitter. Allow around 2 grams of loose tea per cup, and take the tea strainer or filter bag out after steeping so the tea does not keep brewing.

At around 2 grams per cup, 100 grams of loose tea gives you about 50 cups. If you prefer a slightly stronger cup, you will still get a good 40. Store the tea dry, dark and well sealed, so the aroma of the mint and the lemongrass is preserved for as long as possible.
