Category: Decaf Black Tea

Tasting Notes: soft cream + vanilla

Description:  We've blended a high quality decaffeinated black tea with a dairy-free cream flavor. The result is a brisk black tea that has subtle soft cream notes. If you enjoy traditional English Breakfast teas with milk and sugar, we recommend this tea.

Our decaf teas are created using the CO2 decaffeination process. The advantage of this technique is that no chemical solvents are used to remove the caffeine. In this manner of decaffeination, naturally occurring CO2 is applied to the tea leaf in a circulation process which carefully uses high pressure and temperature to extract the caffeine. A very slight residue of caffeine will remain in the tea leaf, which is why we call them decaf teas rather than no caffeine teas. There will be a slight change in the character and flavor of the tea due to the decaffeination process, but the end result is an uncompromising cup of tea with no chemical overtones.

Please note: If you'd like a 100% naturally caffeine-free tea, we suggest that you try our large selection of no caffeine teas such as: herbal teas, rooibos teas, honeybush teas, and fruit tisanes.

Ingredients: decaffeinated black tea, vanilla, cream flavor, cornflowers 

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-4 minutes

Hazel ★★★★★

The vanilla and cream notes are subtle enough that the tea still tastes like a proper brisk black, not a dessert. I’ve been brewing it every afternoon since the box arrived, and it’s become my go-to wind-down cup without any caffeine jitters.

Ava ★★★★★

The vanilla and cream notes come through exactly as described, making this a cozy afternoon cup without any jitters. I’ve been brewing it hot and it stays smooth even as it cools, which is rare for a decaf.

Emma ★★★★☆

I wasn’t expecting much from a decaf, but this one keeps its brisk black tea body without turning flat. The dairy-free cream note is subtle—more like a hint of vanilla in the finish than a heavy flavor. Good cup for the afternoon when I’m cutting back on caffeine.
