High grade Ceylon teas are known for their rich, brisk, robust flavour and aroma. This decaffeinated Ceylon is lighter in flavour and body due to processing, but it retains more of its natural quality than teas do through other methods of decaffeination.
CO2 decaffeination is a time-consuming and expensive process designed to remove as much caffeine as possible while preserving more pure tea flavour than other, more aggressive decaffeination methods. It is also achieved without the use of harsh chemicals like synthetic ethyl acetate.
Decaffeination does not remove all of the caffeine from the tea! This Ceylon Decaf is a “lower caffeine” option; people with serious caffeine sensitivities may want to consider naturally caffeine-free options such as Rooibos, Honeybush, Peppermint and Green Rooibos.

Excellent DeCaf Tea Review by ['ALewis']
I've started drinking this in the evening and it is great. Tastes just like a regular tea, just maybe a bit weaker. Will continue to drink this and may even start drinking it during the day to try and wean myself off caffeine.

I am surprised how delicate and wonderful a flavour this decaf tea has and I really enjoy it. That said I would disagree that this is a medium strength tea. It is lighter than that but still very tasty, especially for a decaffeinated tea. I also really appreciate it is decaffeinated with a safe process.

This is the best decaf black tea I have ever tried. I honestly believed it was impossible to have a fully flavored black tea until I tried this tea, it's a really enjoyable tea to drink. I don't drink caffeine late in the day, and had to deal with tea that just wasn't as good as what I drank early in the day. This tea was a game changer in terms of quality of decaf tea.

This decaf is the best I've found. Finally a decaf option that has full taste for any time of the day! I ALWAYS have it stocked.

If you've been searching for a decaf tea that doesn't taste like dish-water ...this loose tea is it! It is a rosey, robust tea, full of flavour that a tea drinker craves. I can finally have an after dinner tea now. It's pricey, but worth the extra expense.

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 are 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.
