Orange Ginger Sencha - Green tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose leaf tea

Yes, Orange Ginger Sencha is registered in our product data as containing caffeine. The base is Sencha, a green tea from the tea plant, and green tea naturally contains caffeine. If you would prefer something without caffeine in the evening with the same ginger note, take a look at our rooibos and herbal blends with ginger.

We recommend water of around 80 degrees and a steeping time of 2 to 3 minutes, with about 2 grams of tea per cup. Do not pour boiling water over a green tea such as this Sencha, because it will quickly turn bitter and you will lose the soft base underneath the ginger and orange. If you do not have a kettle with a temperature setting, let boiling water cool down for about five minutes before you pour.

Orange Ginger Sencha contains green tea, ginger, liquorice, lemongrass, orange peel, flavouring and natural ginger flavouring. The green Sencha forms the mild base, while the ginger and the orange peel define the character. If you have an allergy or want to check the full and up to date list, look at the label on the packaging.

Yes, this blend tastes good hot and cold. For iced tea you brew it twice as strong as usual, let it cool and serve it with ice cubes and a slice of lemon if you like. Cold steeping is also possible: 4 to 12 hours in the fridge, depending on how strong you want it. The advantage of cold steeping is that the green tea hardly turns bitter at all.

Yes, liquorice is in the ingredient list of Orange Ginger Sencha and gives a natural sweet undertone. That is why the packaging carries the statement: contains liquorice, avoid excessive use in case of high blood pressure. If you are unsure whether this tea suits your situation, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
