About Decaf Breakfast Tea

Tea Type : Black Tea

Naturally decaffeinated Ceylon Black tea. The island of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, produces almost exclusively black tea. The classic Ceylon teas come from the mountainous interior which is known for teas with mild and pleasant liquors that are unusually fragrant.

This tea is decaffeinated using natural carbon dioxide (CO2) treatment. This process is the best for retaining flavor. Under federal regulations in the United States, caffeine levels must not be above 2.5 percent of the product in order for a product to be labeled “decaffeinated.” The caffeine content in Decaf Breakfast is less than 0.4 percent.

Enjoy our Decaf Breakfast the same way you would want to enjoy any of our black teas. Blended to hold up to milk and sweetener, Decaf Breakfast is a delicious solution for anyone looking to reduce their caffeine intake.
