Take 1 glass of milk, or half milk and half water, and add 3 heaped teaspoons of Matcha Green Tea Latte Mix. Blend it all with a blender or milk frother into a smooth, creamy drink. You do not need to strain the mix, because the powder dissolves completely. To taste, add ice cubes, honey or a pinch of cinnamon.

Unopened, coffee keeps for about a year. The exact date is on the packaging, but coffee tastes best within about three months.

Store the bag cool, dark and tightly closed, for example in a kitchen cupboard and not next to the cooker or in the sun. Do not put the beans in the fridge, because there they take on moisture and odours.

With a 1 kilo bag you can pour part of it into an airtight storage tin and leave the rest closed until you need it.

During decaffeination the bean loses part of its oils and soluble substances. Those are exactly what create a firm, lasting crema, so a thin crema that disappears quickly is normal with decaf and is not down to your settings.

If you do want a bit more crema, try a slightly higher dose, grind slightly coarser so that you reach a double amount in around 25 to 30 seconds, and use a higher brewing temperature.

Coffee that has been open for a long time gives less crema anyway, so use the beans as fresh as possible.

These pods are filled with decaffeinated Arabica and Robusta beans, but completely zero caffeine does not exist. In the EU, roasted decaffeinated coffee may contain a maximum of 0.1 percent caffeine, so a small residual amount remains.

In practice that is a fraction of what is in regular coffee, which makes these pods suitable for later in the day as well. If you are very sensitive to caffeine, do take that small remainder into account.

We recommend about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup, which is a generous teaspoon. Pour water of about 100 degrees over the tea and let it steep for 5 to 7 minutes. The longer you let it steep, the stronger the ginger comes through. Because this is loose leaf tea, use a tea strainer, tea filter or filter bag.

Yes, English Blend is certified organic and Fairtrade. The tea leaves come from organic cultivation and the growers are paid fairly for their work through Fairtrade. This tea is number 1 in the Tea Leaves Collection from Tea Cultures.

This latte mix is 6 percent matcha and matcha is green tea, so the mix is not caffeine free. The exact caffeine content per cup is not stated on the packaging. If you want no caffeine at all, choose a herbal or rooibos infusion.

None. L'OR Riche Espresso consists of one hundred percent arabica.

Robusta is often added to espresso blends for extra body, a firmer crema and a spicy, bitter note. With these beans the strength therefore does not come from robusta but from the dark roast, with an intensity of 8 and notes of dark chocolate, caramel and macadamia.

If you are sensitive to the bitterness of robusta, a one hundred percent arabica blend like this one is a logical choice.

These are whole beans, so you decide the grind size yourself. For espresso you grind fine, for a pour over filter such as a Moccamaster, Melitta or V60 you use filter grind, and for the ground coffee chute of a Jura, percolator grind.

Filter grind and percolator grind cannot be used interchangeably: filter grind is too fine for a percolator and percolator grind is too coarse for a filter machine, which gives a weak cup.

In a bean to cup machine you do not need to set anything, it grinds the beans itself.

A used coffee pod consists of coffee grounds and a paper filter cloth and may go in the food and garden waste in the Netherlands.

The bag the pods come in does not belong there; you throw it away according to your local council's rules for plastic or residual waste. If in doubt, check your council's waste guide.

The packaging contains 100 grams of loose leaf tea. Allow about 2 grams per cup and you will get around 50 cups. If you prefer to brew the tea a little stronger, you will get slightly fewer cups. Store the tea in a dry, dark place and keep it tightly closed so the aroma is preserved.

A box contains 25 tea bags of 2 grams, which is 50 grams of tea in total. Each bag is individually wrapped, so the aroma is preserved until you brew the tea. That also makes this tea handy to take to the office or on a trip.

This matcha latte mix contains milk protein and soy lecithin (E322) and is therefore not vegan. It is also not suitable for anyone who has to avoid milk or soy. The full ingredient list is: sugar, maltodextrin, coconut oil, matcha tea 6 percent, natural flavourings, milk protein, antioxidant E340, emulsifier E471, E322 (soy lecithin), anti-caking agent E341 and salt.

Bitterness is usually caused by over extraction. Grind a little coarser, shorten the extraction time or set the brewing temperature one step lower if your machine allows it.

If your coffee tastes sour and thin instead, the opposite works: grind finer or set the temperature higher.

Do bear in mind that these beans are dark roasted with an intensity of 8, so a firm bittersweet chocolate note is part of this flavour profile.

Store the bag cool, dark and tightly closed, for example in a kitchen cupboard. Do not put the beans in the fridge, because there they attract moisture and odours.

Unopened, coffee stays good for about a year; the exact date is on the packaging. Coffee tastes best within about three months, so pour part of it into an airtight tin and leave the rest of the kilo bag closed.
