Decaf teas give you the taste of real black, green and pu-erh tea with most of the caffeine removed.
Classic picks include Decaf English Breakfast and Decaf Orange Pekoe Ceylon, a crisp black tea from Sri Lanka. Decaf Dianhong Black from China has a honey-sweet taste with fruity notes.
Flavoured options include Decaf Masala Chai, Decaf Cream Earl Grey and Decaf Jasmine Green, plus Decaf Yunnan Ripe Pu'erh for an earthy cup.
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.
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.
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.
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.
