Decaffeinated Irish Breakfast Tea - Loose Leaf

Decaffeinated Irish Breakfast Tea is most probably one of the finest decaffeinated teas available. Grown between 3000 and 4000 ft in the Travancore region of South India, the leaves are naturally decaffeinated using Co2. The result? A tea with a true malty taste and full-bodied flavour just right to accompany a good hearty breakfast!

Production

• Initial harvest and preparation: Just like with regular tea, leaves from South India are plucked and readied.
• Decaffeination process: The CO2 method involves heating Co2 and passing it through the tea leaves under pressure to bind with the caffeine molecules present in the leaves and extract them. This process is designed to remove the naturally occurring caffeine in the leaves while preserving flavour.
• Drying and packaging: The leaves are then dried out and packaged up for distribution.

Health Benefits

Decaf Irish Breakfast Tea retains most of the health benefits of its caffeinated counterpart, including:

• Rich in antioxidants: These are beneficial for heart health and might help prevent certain cancer types.
• Aids digestion: The robust flavour helps stimulate digestive enzymes.
• Provides hydration: Decaf tea makes for a great hydrating drink, especially for those limiting caffeine intake.
