Decaf Tea
Decaf tea guide
Decaf tea is real tea with most of the caffeine removed, so it keeps the taste of black or green tea for an evening cup. Decaf English Breakfast is the go-to for a proper brew with milk, and Decaf Orange Pekoe Ceylon is brisk and bright.
For flavour, Decaf Cream Earl Grey brings bergamot and vanilla, and Decaf Masala Chai makes a spiced latte. Decaf Jasmine Green is light and floral, and Decaf Yunnan Ripe Pu’erh is earthy and smooth.
Decaf is not the same as caffeine-free: decaf still has a trace of caffeine. If you want none at all, see our rooibos and mint teas. Free UK shipping is available.

Decaf tea FAQ
How is tea decaffeinated?
Tea is decaffeinated after processing, often with carbon dioxide (CO2) or ethyl acetate. Our Decaf Dianhong Black uses a low-temperature CO2 process that removes over 90% of the caffeine.
What is the difference between decaf and caffeine-free tea?
Decaf tea is real tea from the Camellia sinensis plant with most of its caffeine removed, so a small amount remains. Herbal teas like chamomile, mint and rooibos never had caffeine to begin with.
How do I brew decaf black tea?
Use 1 teaspoon per 250 ml cup and water at about 96°C. Steep 2 to 3 minutes. For Decaf Jasmine Green, use cooler water around 79°C and steep 2 to 3 minutes.
Can I make a latte with decaf tea?
Yes. Decaf Masala Chai and Decaf Cream Earl Grey both work well as lattes. Brew them strong, using a little more leaf and less water, then top with steamed milk.
