Description: A great choice for those who enjoy a cup of black tea but need an option with limited caffeine. Decaffeinated using the CO2 Method - high pressure and temperatures extract the caffeine. The results are decaf teas so close to the real thing that they consistently fool Tea Masters in blind taste tests. An uncompromising cup of tea.   

Tasting Notes: A coppery liquor in the cup, this decaffeinated black tea begins delicately. Malt and sweet honey on the nose grounds the senses. As you continue sipping, the tea starts to layer in gentle astringency, covering the palate with honey, earthy notes. A mild, but flavourful decaffeinated black tea.          

Brewing Instructions: 2g per cup. 100ºC water. steep 5+ minutes.

*Decaffeination process does leave trace amounts of caffeine. If you have an allergy, or are highly sensitive to caffeine, a herbal tisane could provide a completely caffeine-free alternative.

Organic Certified

China has a rich and ancient tradition of producing high quality teas of all varieties, and black tea is no exception. This is where tea culture and industry, as we know it, began nearly 2,000 years ago.

Known as ‘Red Tea’ in China, the tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis sinensis plant are smaller and finer than their Indian counterparts, the Camellia sinensis assamica, and prefer cooler mountainous regions. Usually plucked by hand and gently processed, the end result are exquisitely fragrant teas with lesser levels of astringency and a soft body.

Several Chinese provinces are famous for their regional tea selections: Fujian Province is home to the well-known, pine-smoked Lapsang Souchong, while Keemun tea, the official choice of the British Queen, is produced in Anhui Province. Yunnan province produces the ever-popular varieties of Yunnan black tea and is also the region where China started its tea cultivation.

The organic teas we import are artisanally farmed and crafted. They may change with each harvest season. The same tea harvested at a different time of year and processed by a different tea maker will vary slightly in flavour and finish.
