## About this template

Every detail in this tea catalog template comes from the brewing ritual: photos framed in leaf-shaped lenses, steep-timer rings marking minutes and water temperature, and faint terrace contour lines. The palette is soft white, sage and leaf green with near-black panels, and Copse serif headings sit over Source Sans Pro. Seven covers, from a tea-terrace aerial to a pick-your-steep sticker page, open onto 20 designed pages, product pages and mosaic layouts.

It gives café owners and buyers what they need to put a tea on the menu: price per tin and per kilo, leaf per cup, water temperature, steep time and how many re-steeps a leaf gives. Products from Shopify or a CSV fill the product pages, each card with SKU, tea type, name, a pack-size line and price, and tin and café-bag sizes can be set up as variants. Send the wholesale flipbook with its built-in order form, or print it for tastings and trade shows.

## Highlights

### Brewing guide: leaf, water, time (Size / Spec Guide page)

A table gives grams per cup, water temperature, steep time and re-steeps for green, white, oolong, black, herbal and matcha, with a one-to-five leaf caffeine rating per cup and three bar recipes: matcha latte, iced tea and masala chai.

### Single-tea feature with trade pack prices (Featured Product page)

A ceremonial matcha takes a full page: origin, harvest, grade and color specs, a whisk timer, and a small table of trade pack sizes and prices. Use it for the tea you most want cafés to try first.

### Sample-pack offer for new accounts (Promo / Sale page)

A ring-framed offer for a tasting pack of tins, credited against the opening order, set over a photo of loose leaf. Cafés usually taste before they switch suppliers, so the page gives them an easy first step.

### Storage and shelf-life page (Care Instructions page)

Leaf-shaped photos head four storage rules (airtight, dark and cool, matcha chilled, good water) above a shelf-life table by tea type and a serving note for staff. It helps venues keep your tea fresh after delivery.

### Contents with a leaf thumbnail per range (Contents page)

Five ranges, from green and white to teaware, each get a small leaf-shaped photo, a line of example teas and a page number, under a circular photo of a tea set seen from above.

## What cafés look for in a wholesale tea catalog

1. **Print brewing parameters for every tea** — Cafés serve tea through staff who may never have brewed it. Give grams per cup or pot, water temperature, steep time and how many infusions the leaf gives. Green tea brewed at a full boil turns bitter, and the customer blames the tea. Clear parameters protect your product on someone else's counter.
2. **Show the cost per cup** — Price per kilo means little to a café owner; price per cup decides the menu. At 3 g per cup, a tea that costs $96 a kilo works out to about 29 cents a serving, and less when the leaf is steeped twice. Print that figure beside each tea and the margin speaks for itself.
3. **Separate retail and café formats** — Retail tins need labels with ingredients, net weight and a date mark, while café bags need resealable, light-proof packaging from 250 g to 1 kg. List both formats under each tea as variants so a grocer and a café can order from the same page, and say which packs are nitrogen-flushed.
4. **Time new teas to the harvest** — First-flush and spring-picked teas arrive once a year, and cafés like to feature them while they are fresh. Announce new-season greens and oolongs as they land, bring warming blends and chai forward before the cold months, and iced-tea blends before summer. A short flipbook edition suits each seasonal drop.
5. **List every ingredient in blends** — Herbal infusions and flavored blends often contain fruit, flowers, spices or flavorings. Name every ingredient, flag common allergens and say whether a blend contains caffeine. Cafés field these questions from customers every day, and a catalog that answers them saves staff from guessing.

## How it works

1. **Pick this template** — Open Tea & Botanicals in EasyCatalog and choose the cover and the pages you want — every page is optional and editable.
2. **Add your products** — Import from Shopify in one click, or upload a CSV, connect WooCommerce or a product feed. Your products fill the product pages automatically.
3. **Download or share** — Export a print-ready PDF (up to 300 DPI, CMYK and bleed for print shops) or share an online flipbook with a built-in order form.

## FAQ

### Can I list tins and café bags of the same tea together?

Add the tin and bag sizes as variants of one product and the product card can show a variant table, so a 100 g tin and a 1 kg bag sit side by side with their own prices and SKUs. In the wholesale flipbook, minimum quantities and order multiples help when café bags are sold in packs.

### Can I use the tea catalog template without a Shopify store?

Yes. Register without a Shopify store, then bring in your teas from a CSV or TSV file, a WooCommerce store, a Google Shopping or Meta product feed, or type each one in. For non-Shopify accounts the Free plan gives a single watermarked catalog capped at five pages, so a catalog with the full set of designed pages plus your product pages calls for a paid plan, starting at $19.99 a month.

### How should loose-leaf tea be stored once opened?

In airtight, opaque containers away from light, heat, moisture and strong smells such as coffee or spices. Green and white teas fade fastest, so buy them in smaller amounts; black teas and dark oolongs keep longer. Matcha is the most delicate: keep it sealed and refrigerated after opening and use it within a few weeks.

### What water temperature does each type of tea need?

As a starting point: green tea at 160–175 °F (70–80 °C), white tea around 175–185 °F (80–85 °C), oolong at 185–205 °F (85–95 °C), and black tea and most herbal infusions near boiling, 200–212 °F (95–100 °C). Matcha is whisked with water around 160–175 °F. Steep times run from about one minute for delicate greens to seven for herbals.
