Decaffeinated Earl Grey

Our Decaffeinated Earl Grey tea offering is comprised of Ceylon’s finest long leaf teas that have been delicately scented with oil of Bergamot. This selection has a fragrant aroma and full-flavored taste without the caffeine of regular black tea. For those looking for a caffeine-free Earl Grey tea, this is a great option! It is decaffeinated by using a critical carbon dioxide method. Carbon dioxide acts as a solvent under extreme pressure and is thus capable of removing caffeine from tea. The tea is first wet with water and then carbon dioxide is circulated through in a pressurized chamber. The process takes several hours before the carbon dioxide solvent is separated off, and the tea dried. Since this is a physical process, this method is sometimes referred to as 'naturally decaffeinated'.
