Pu Erh & Cocoa - Pu-Erh tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose tea

What is Pu Erh & Cocoa tea?

Pu erh and cocoa tea is a blend that brings together aged pu erh tea, cocoa nibs and chicory root in one cup. The result is a rich, smooth and earthy drink with a warm hint of chocolate. Each 100-gram pack of this loose tea is crafted at the authentic tea shop of Café du Jour, rooted in the Maasland countryside.

What makes this blend special?

Pu erh is an aged tea known for its deep, earthy character. When you add cocoa nibs, the flavour opens up with a gentle chocolatey warmth. Chicory root rounds off the blend, adding a subtle, slightly sweet depth. Together, the three ingredients create a cup that feels indulgent without being heavy.

• Aged pu erh tea as the base – earthy and smooth
• Cocoa nibs for a natural chocolate note
• Chicory root for a rounded, slightly sweet finish
• 100 grams of loose tea per pack

Who is it suitable for?

This pu erh and cocoa tea suits anyone who enjoys a full-bodied, flavourful cup with a twist. If you love the earthy depth of traditional pu erh but also have a soft spot for chocolate, this blend was made for you. It is equally at home as a daily treat or as something a little special to share with guests.

A tea for different moments

Tea enthusiasts who want to explore beyond standard black or green teas will find this blend a rewarding choice. Chocolate lovers who are curious about loose-leaf tea will appreciate how the cocoa nibs make the cup feel familiar and comforting. Whether you brew a quiet cup in the morning or wind down in the afternoon, this blend fits the moment.

How do you use Pu Erh & Cocoa tea?

Brewing pu erh and cocoa tea is straightforward. Use a teapot, infuser or strainer to steep the loose leaves. Because pu erh tea is robust, it can handle multiple infusions from the same portion of leaves, so your 100-gram pack goes a long way.

Brewing tips

1. Use about 2 to 3 grams of loose tea per cup (roughly 200 ml of water).
2. Heat the water to around 90 to 95 degrees Celsius.
3. Steep for 2 to 4 minutes – a shorter steep gives a lighter flavour, longer gives more depth.
4. You can re-steep the same leaves two or three times, adjusting the steeping time slightly each round.
5. Try it plain first, then decide if you want to add a little honey or milk.

With 2 to 3 grams per cup, a 100-gram pack yields roughly 33 to 50 cups of tea. That makes it a generous supply for everyday enjoyment.
