Ginger Root - Ginger Tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose tea

No, Ginger Root contains no caffeine. This tea consists entirely of cut ginger root and therefore not of leaves from the tea plant, which is where caffeine comes from. So you can happily drink it in the evening too.

Ginger Root consists of a single ingredient: ginger. No sugar, flavouring or other herbs have been added, so you taste the cut ginger root in its pure form. That gives it a spicy, full flavour. If you would like to read the exact label, check the packaging.

Use about 2 grams of loose tea per cup, which is roughly a level teaspoon. Pour boiling water over the ginger and let the tea steep for 5 to 8 minutes. If you steep it longer, the ginger flavour becomes sharper and stronger. We recommend tasting it and adjusting the steeping time to your own taste.

At about 2 grams per cup, this 100 gram bag gives you around 50 cups. If you brew your tea stronger, the bag will of course last a little less long. Because this is loose leaf tea, you need a tea strainer, tea filter or filter bag.

Store the ginger dry, dark and well sealed, for example in the bag itself or in a tea caddy. Heat, light and moisture are the biggest enemies of loose leaf tea and make the aroma fade faster. Do not keep the tea right next to coffee or strongly scented spices, because ginger picks up smells easily.
