Marzipan Rose - Black Tea 100 grams - Café du Jour Loose Leaf Tea

Yes. The ingredient list of Marzipan Rose is: black tea, almonds, rose buds, flavouring, rose petals and natural flavouring. Together with the flavouring, the almonds create the sweet, nutty marzipan taste.

If you have a nut allergy, this tea is not suitable. If in doubt, always check the ingredient list on the packaging.

Count on around 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup, which is roughly a level teaspoon. Pour water that is just off the boil over the tea and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes.

Because this is loose leaf tea, you need a tea strainer or a filter bag. If you let the tea steep longer, the cup becomes stronger and drier in taste.

A 100 gram bag gives you around 50 cups, based on about 2 grams of tea per cup.

If you use a large mug or prefer your tea a little stronger, that number will come out slightly lower.

Yes. Marzipan Rose is a black tea and black tea naturally contains caffeine. Theine and caffeine are the same substance, just under a different name.

If you are looking for something without caffeine for the evening, take a look at a rooibos or a herbal infusion.

Store the tea dry, dark and well sealed, for example in its original packaging or in a tea tin. That way the almond and rose notes are preserved for the longest time.

Loose tea easily takes on odours, so do not put it next to strong smelling products. The fridge is not a good place to keep it.
