A loose tea starter pack gives you everything you need to brew loose leaf tea at home, right from the start. This pack from Café du Jour contains four different teas, a tea strainer, and a measuring spoon - so you can get started straight away without buying anything extra. Each tea comes in a 100g pack, giving you around 200 cups of tea in total.

Loose leaf tea brewing is simple once you have the right tools. With this complete tea starter set, you get a curated selection of flavours alongside the accessories you need to brew them well.

Who is it suitable for?

This loose tea starter pack is made for anyone who wants to try loose leaf tea for the first time. If you have only ever used tea bags before, this kit shows you how easy and rewarding loose leaf brewing can be. You get four varied flavours so you can find out which style you enjoy most.

It also makes a thoughtful gift. Whether you are buying for a friend who is curious about tea or for someone who already loves it, this loose tea gift set has everything they need in one box.

Loose leaf tea starter pack vs tea bags

Tea bags are convenient, but loose leaf tea lets you control the strength and quantity of each cup more precisely. With the measuring spoon included in this pack, you can adjust the amount to suit your taste. The luxury tea strainer works with both a single cup and a teapot, so you are not limited to one brewing style.

How do you use this starter pack?

Brewing loose leaf tea is straightforward. Use the measuring spoon to scoop your chosen tea into the strainer, place the strainer over your cup or pot, and pour hot water over it. Remove the strainer after the recommended steeping time and your tea is ready to enjoy.

Step-by-step loose leaf tea brewing guide

1. Choose one of the four teas from your loose tea starter pack.
2. Use the measuring spoon to measure the right amount of tea leaves.
3. Place the tea leaves inside the luxury tea strainer.
4. Set the strainer over your cup or inside your teapot.
5. Pour hot water over the strainer and leave to steep.
6. Remove the strainer, discard the leaves, and enjoy your cup.

Each 100g pack gives you roughly 50 cups of tea, so the four packs together are good for around 200 cups. That is plenty of time to explore each variety at your own pace.
