Decaf is Not the Same Taste Review by ['TeaPerson']
I love this Canadian breakfast flavour, but the decaf version tastes off. I will switch back to caffeinated.
Posted on 2024-04-15Maple flavor is overwhelming Review by NancyG
I love Murchie's teas and have tried many, many blends. This is the first one that I consider unpalatable. Rather than being "subtle", I found the maple flavor to be overwhelming and unpleasant. I generally don't enjoy flavored teas, so perhaps it's just me. I find Murchie's Earl Grey, both regular and decaffeinated, to be excellent. Canadian Breakfast not so much.

Our household has loved Murchies for over a decade, and after having to switch to decaffeinated tea for health reasons, I was thrilled to see the C02 decaffeinated line! This tea is delicious! It has a nice full bodied black tea taste with just the right amount of nutty/maple flavor. This has quickly become my afternoon tea of choice.

Love this so much!
Posted on 2022-01-13Order it in bulk, life wouldn't be the same without it Review by ['Kate']
My husband and I love this tea so much that we order it in bulk so we always have a box on hand, and to give away as gifts. Inevitably (in non pandemic times) a guest would ask about this fabulous tea, and we would give them a box. This tea has a captivating maple scent but the taste isn't sweet or cloying. It's nutty and comforting and complex. We have searched high and low for strong and delicious decaf black teas, and once we found this one we can't be without it. I hope Murchie's never stops making Canadian Breakfast!

I am so very grateful for this decaf tea! I have to severely limit my caffeine and finding a tasty "black tea" decaf is difficult. This tea is amazingly delicious and I can drink it all day. Thank you!

Hands-down my favourite tea of all the ones I've tried over the years. Hope they never stop selling this one. Whenever I make a cup, everyone comments about how it makes the house smell like maple, and it's glorious.
Posted on 2020-07-24A Pleasant Surprise Review by Walker44
I ordered these on a whim as I was looking for something decaf to inspire me. As I age I find I've become more and more sensitive to caffeine, but still feel the desire for a 'brisk cuppa' in the AM. The Canadian Breakfast was a really welcome surprise. Ordered just the sample size but am back less than a week later ordering 2 boxes of 50 and already putting a reminder in my calendar to order more before I hit the 100 day mark. I'm that confident they'll be all gone. I get several cups from a bag, so can even have my second cup later in the day without the worry of a sleepless night. Its a full-flavoured tea with the lightest touch of maple. I am not a sweet tooth, nor do I like maple syrup and pancakes, so imagine my delight that I found a delicious decaf solution that satisfies my taste for a real cup of tea, and that also has an extra touch of sweetness without the cloying flavours found in most retail brands. I'm happily addicted and look forward to my morning tea without the caffeine hit.

I LOVE the new decaf Canadian Breakfast tea, hint of maple. I had already discovered the delightful aroma and taste of the regular Canadian Breakfast, but I need to drink decaf most of the time for various health reasons. The fact that I can drink this as often as I want...aahhh. I now drink it once or twice daily!

Steeping the Best (Guide)
Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea
While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags is milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.
- Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
- Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes
General Steeping Temperatures
The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.
Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.
If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
