Do I need a tea strainer for Popcorn Cherry Bliss and how do I store the tea?

Yes, this is loose tea, so you need a tea strainer, a tea filter or a loose filter bag. Choose one with plenty of room, because the tea leaves and the fruit pieces expand considerably while steeping.

Store the tea dry, dark and tightly closed. That keeps the aroma and the flavour of the cherries and the white chocolate at their best for longest.

What should I watch out for when roasting with the Gene Café CBR101

Always stay with the roaster while it is roasting. That is necessary for fire safety and it also lets you hear the first and second crack. Use the roaster under an extractor hood or by an open window, because smoke is released. Remove the chaff after every roast and clean the chaff collector in warm water every 20 roasts, then let it dry thoroughly. Better not to roast too dark: it is exactly the finest flavours that are lost in a dark roast.

Where does the hemp in Simply Hemp come from and is the tea organic?

The hemp for this tea is grown 100 percent organically in Oude Pekela in Groningen.

It is fibre hemp, the same crop that is also used for rope and textiles. That variety contains no THC.

Do I need a tea strainer for Sleepy Hemp loose tea?

Yes, Sleepy Hemp is loose tea. Use a tea strainer, a single tea filter bag or a teapot with a built in filter.

Give the herbs room in the filter so that they can expand. A tightly packed tea ball gives a weaker cup. Take the filter out of your cup or pot after 5 to 7 minutes.

Are the L'OR Riche Espresso coffee beans suitable for a bean to cup machine?

Yes. This is a 1 kilo bag of whole coffee beans that you can pour straight into the bean hopper of your bean to cup machine, or use in an espresso machine with a separate grinder.

Riche Espresso is dark roasted and dark roasted beans release a little more coffee oil than a light roast. That is not a problem for a bean to cup machine, but we do recommend cleaning the bean hopper and the grinder regularly.

Fill the hopper with the amount you use up in about a week and keep the rest of the bag tightly closed.

Are the IDEE Kaffee Elegant Decaffeinated beans suitable for a bean to cup machine?

Yes. These decaffeinated beans are suitable for bean to cup machines and semi automatic machines, and you can also grind them yourself for filter coffee or espresso.

The beans are medium roasted and therefore less oily than a dark roast, which works nicely in the grinder of a bean to cup machine.

Fill the bean hopper with what you use up in about a week and keep the rest of the 1 kilo bag tightly closed.

Do the Senseo Decaf coffee pods fit every Senseo machine?

These are standard round Senseo pods, so they fit the normal pod holders of a Senseo machine. For one cup you put one pod in the 1 cup holder, for two cups you use the 2 cup holder with two pods.

Place the pod in the holder with the domed side facing down and gently flatten the ground coffee. That way the water runs through evenly and you do not get half a cup.

Does Morning Glow ginger tea contain caffeine or theine?

No, Morning Glow is a herbal blend without tea leaf and therefore caffeine free. The blend consists of lemongrass, ginger, pieces of pineapple and papaya and flower petals, and contains no green or black tea. So you can drink this ginger tea in the evening too.

Does Tea Cultures English Blend contain caffeine?

Yes, English Blend is a black tea and therefore contains caffeine, also known as theine. It is a full and powerful blend, which makes it suitable as a tea with breakfast or mid morning. If you would rather avoid caffeine in the evening, choose a herbal or rooibos infusion.

What is the difference between this Matcha Latte Mix and pure matcha powder?

This Matcha Green Tea Latte Mix is a ready to use mix for a matcha latte. Besides matcha (6 percent) it contains sugar, coconut oil and milk protein among other ingredients, which makes your drink soft, creamy and lightly sweetened. Pure matcha powder consists only of ground green tea, without sugar or milk components, and therefore tastes stronger and more bitter. If you want the traditional, unsweetened matcha, choose the pure matcha powder instead of this latte mix.

Which grind size do I choose if I grind the L'OR Riche Espresso beans myself?

That depends on your machine. For an espresso machine you grind fine (espresso grind), for a pour over filter such as a V60, Melitta or Moccamaster you use filter grind, and for the ground coffee chute of a Jura, percolator grind is the right one.

Filter grind and percolator grind are not interchangeable. Percolator grind is coarser and gives a weak cup in a filter machine, while filter grind is too fine for a percolator and clogs up.

If you have a bean to cup machine, you do not need to choose anything: it grinds the beans itself.

Is IDEE Kaffee Elegant Decaffeinated completely caffeine free?

This coffee has been decaffeinated, but completely zero caffeine does not exist. In the EU, roasted decaffeinated coffee has a legal maximum of 0.1 percent caffeine, so a small residual amount always remains.

That is a fraction of what is in regular coffee. If you are very sensitive to caffeine, do take that small remainder into account.

How many Senseo Decaf pods do you use for a large or double cup?

For a normal cup you use one pod in the 1 cup pod holder. If you want two cups at once or a large mug, use the 2 cup holder with two pods.

Making a large mug with one pod is possible, but the coffee will be watery because the same amount of coffee is spread over more water.

So this pack of 48 pods gives you about 48 normal cups or 24 double ones.

What is in Morning Glow ginger tea?

Morning Glow contains lemongrass, ginger, candied pineapple pieces, candied papaya pieces, sweet blackberry leaves, helichrysum, mullein flower, flavouring and natural flavouring. The ginger provides the spicy note, the lemongrass the fresh side and the candied fruit the soft, tropical finish. This is loose leaf tea, so you will find the loose leaves, pieces and flowers back in the packaging.

How do you make Tea Cultures English Blend tea bags?

Use 1 tea bag per cup and pour water of 100 degrees over it. Let the tea steep for 3 to 4 minutes. If you want a milder cup, take the bag out of the water a little earlier. Black tea can handle boiling water, so you do not have to let the water cool down.
