Decaffeinated English Breakfast Tea - Loose Leaf

Decaffieinated English Breakfast loose leaf tea is a Flowery Pekoe (FP) high-grown tea sourced from Travancore, South India. A high-quality tea is used as it retains its flavour better than others while undergoing the natural CO2 decaffeination process. With a balanced astringency and lovely floral notes, it truly makes a wonderful breakfast tea for those looking for less caffeine.

Production

The decaffeinated leaf production is through a process called CO2 decaffeination. This method involves using pressurised carbon dioxide (CO2) to extract caffeine from the tea leaves. The CO2 decaffeination process is considered the most natural and effective way to remove caffeine while preserving the tea's flavour and health benefits.
