Strawberry Fields Forever - green tea 100 grams - Café du Jour Loose Tea

Yes, Strawberry Fields Forever is made with a green tea base and therefore contains caffeine, also known as theine. If you are looking for a caffeine free alternative, have a look at a rooibos or a herbal infusion. The shorter the steeping time, the less caffeine ends up in your cup.

The ingredients of this loose leaf tea are green tea, flavouring, rose blossom and pieces of strawberry. Those real pieces of fruit and blossom also make the tea look attractive in your pot or glass. If you have an allergy, always check the label on the packaging you receive.

We recommend about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup, roughly a level teaspoon. Use water at about 80 degrees and let the tea steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Boiling water quickly makes green tea bitter, so let your kettle stand for a moment after boiling. Take the leaves out of the water afterwards, otherwise the tea keeps steeping.

Yes, this is loose leaf tea, so you need a tea strainer, a tea filter or a pot with a built-in filter. Choose a roomy strainer, because the leaves and the pieces of strawberry need room to open up. A paper filter bag for loose leaf tea works well too.

At about 2 grams per cup, this 100 gram pack gives you around 50 cups of tea. Store the tea dry, dark and tightly closed, and the flavour will stay good for a long time. Do not keep the tea next to strongly scented products, because tea leaves easily absorb odours.
