This decaf black tea has very little bitterness or harshness, making it smooth and easy to drink.

I used 5g of tea leaves with 200ml of hot water. It does use a fair amount of tea per cup, but the flavor is excellent!

I also tried steeping the leaves a second time, letting them brew a little longer, and it turned out surprisingly good. I was able to enjoy over 400ml of tea in total from just 5g of leaves.

One tip: Be sure to remove the tea leaves from the brewed tea rather than letting them sit in the water.

The tea leaves are mostly whole and nicely intact, which was a pleasant surprise. They also leave behind very little dust, so cleanup is easy.

I even tried using this tea as a base for herbal tea blends, and it worked really well. Ceylon tea has a flavor that pairs nicely with a variety of herbs.

This is a comforting tea to unwind with at night, especially during the colder months.

The cute illustrations on the package make it nice enough to leave out on the counter!

This 100g bag of decaf Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka is a great find for anyone who loves tea but wants to cut back on caffeine.

The tea leaves are large and beautiful, with an Orange Pekoe grade that reminds me of the large leaves you often see in oolong tea. The decaffeination process is handled by a company in Uji, Kyoto, Japan.

One thing I really appreciate about this tea is how the caffeine is removed. There are several ways to decaffeinate tea, and some methods use chemical solvents, which can be a concern for people who prefer to avoid them. This tea uses supercritical CO2 extraction, a process that uses carbon dioxide to remove the caffeine. After doing a little research, I felt much more comfortable with this method.

The resealable pouch is another nice touch. It makes storing the tea easy and helps keep everything fresh between uses.

As for the taste, it's smooth and mellow, without the strong bitterness or astringency that some black teas have. Best of all, since it's decaffeinated, I can enjoy a warm cup in the evening without worrying as much about caffeine before bedtime.

Overall, this is a lovely option for anyone looking for a smooth, easy-to-drink decaf tea to enjoy throughout the day or as part of their nighttime routine.

Why I Chose This Product
After years of balancing work and household responsibilities, I’ve come to appreciate the quiet moments at the end of the day. However, consuming caffeine late at night can sometimes affect my sleep, so I’ve often found myself wanting to avoid it. While looking for a decaffeinated black tea that I could enjoy with confidence without compromising on taste or quality, I came across this product.

What I Liked
The biggest appeal is the peace of mind that comes with being able to enjoy it at any time of day. Made from 100% Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka and containing no added flavorings, it is a welcome choice for someone who prefers to avoid unnecessary additives.

When I tried it, I found the flavor smooth and mellow, with less of the astringency typically associated with black tea. It has a comforting warmth that feels like a gentle treat for a body tired from a long day at work. The tea also offers a surprisingly rich leaf aroma for a decaffeinated tea, and I found that drinking it before bed helped me feel calm and relaxed.

A Few Minor Considerations
If you’re accustomed to the convenience of tea bags readily available at most supermarkets, you may find that measuring loose tea leaves takes a little extra effort. Also, compared with regular caffeinated black tea, the depth of flavor may feel slightly different depending on personal preference. That said, the quality is more than satisfying for everyday enjoyment.

Who I Would Recommend It To
Those who want to enjoy a warm cup of black tea late in the evening
Those who want to manage their daily caffeine intake
Those who prefer the natural taste of tea leaves without added flavorings
Those looking for a moment of relaxation at the end of a busy day filled with work and household responsibilities

Final Thoughts
As someone who enjoys black tea regularly, I appreciate having a decaffeinated option that makes everyday life a little more enjoyable. Its gentle, understated flavor is perfect for quiet moments, whether reading a book in the evening or reflecting on the day. I find it to be a thoughtfully made product that fits naturally into my daily routine.
