Star mix without mint - Herbal tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose tea

What is star mix herbal tea without mint?

Star mix herbal tea without mint is a classic Dutch herbal blend centred on bold anise and liquorice flavours. This version leaves out mint entirely, so the taste of star anise and liquorice takes centre stage from the very first sip. The blend is low in tannin and contains no caffeine by nature, making it a pleasant choice at any time of day.

Five simple, recognisable ingredients

Café du Jour keeps this blend honest and straightforward. You get five herbs and nothing else — no artificial flavourings, no unnecessary additives. Each ingredient plays a clear role in the flavour profile.

• Fennel – adds a mild, slightly sweet herbal note
• Liquorice – gives the blend its characteristic deep, sweet base
• Star anise – delivers the bold, distinctive anise flavour
• Anise seed – rounds out the anise character with a softer edge
• Juniper berries – bring a subtle, resinous depth to the cup

Because mint is absent, the anise and liquorice notes are never interrupted. The flavour profile stays focused and consistent throughout the cup.

Who is it suitable for?

This star mix herbal tea suits anyone who enjoys a warming, aromatic herbal cup. Because it contains no caffeine by nature, you can drink it in the evening just as comfortably as in the morning. It is also a good fit for tea drinkers who prefer a low-tannin brew.

A good match if you enjoy anise and liquorice

If you already like the flavour of fennel or liquorice, this blend will feel familiar and satisfying. The absence of mint means the anise notes are not interrupted, so every cup delivers the same focused, full-bodied character. It is equally suited to those new to loose-leaf herbal tea who want a straightforward, recognisable flavour to start with.

How do you use star mix herbal tea?

Brewing loose-leaf star mix herbal tea is straightforward. Use a tea infuser, a strainer, or a teapot with a built-in filter. Because the herbs are coarse-cut, they are easy to handle and do not pass through standard infuser mesh.

Brewing guide

1. Measure roughly 2 to 3 grams of loose tea per cup — about one heaped teaspoon.
2. Pour freshly boiled water over the herbs.
3. Steep for 5 to 7 minutes, depending on how strong you like the flavour.
4. Remove the infuser and enjoy the cup as it is, or add a little honey if you prefer extra sweetness.

A 100-gram pack yields approximately 40 to 50 cups when you use about 2 grams per serving. That gives you good value from every pack while keeping each cup fresh and full of flavour.

Ways to vary your cup

You can adjust the character of this blend simply by changing the steep time. A shorter steep of around 5 minutes gives a lighter, more delicate cup. Steeping for the full 7 minutes brings out a deeper, more intense anise and liquorice flavour. Adding a small amount of honey after brewing complements the natural sweetness of the liquorice and fennel without overpowering the herbal notes.
