Decaffeinated Orange Pekoe Tea

One of our most popular decafs!

Decaffeinated Orange Pekoe is a nice, smooth, plain black Ceylon tea naturally decaffeinated with CO2. "Orange Pekoe" doesn't mean orange flavor. It designates a good quality leaf. Great for any time of day. Use 1 tsp. per cup and steep 3 minutes in freshly boiled water.

Our decaffeinated teas are naturally decaffeinated using a process that removes caffeine without using chemicals of any sort. The freshly plucked tea leaves are briefly soaked in water and gently flushed with carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 binds to the caffeine molecules and extracts them from the tea, leaving behind all the natural proteins that give tea its flavor. It also leaves many of the polyphenols and antioxidants intact, so it's still good for you.
