There are some brands of decaffeinated tea on the market, but unfortunately their quality is rarely very high. It is very difficult (perhaps impossible) to remove caffeine from tea without degrading its quality. On the other hand, it is possible to prepare ordinary tea so as to remove most (not all) of the caffeine from the finished product. Caffeine is very water-soluble, more so than many of the flavor components in tea.

The Government of Canada has 3 approved methods of decaffeination, C02, ethyl acetate, and methylene chloride. In order to provide the best tasting cup of tea, Tetley decaffeinates green tea with C02, and black tea (orange pekoe) with methylene chloride. See similar questions...

Yes, we do. We offer Decaffeinated English Breakfast, made with the best decaffeinated teas available. See similar questions...

Yes. Some people use only decaffeinated tea . Others use a combination of 3 or 4 bags decaffeinated tea with 1 or 2 bags regular black tea. Decaffeinated tea still has about 3% caffeine content. See similar questions...

After searching for a non-toxic organic process, Numi is excited to have full leaf teas that have been decaffeinated using a Super Critical CO2 extraction process sometimes referred to as "Effervescence". The tea is placed in a pressurized chamber, Carbon Dioxide, an inert gas, is pumped in and locks on and extracts the caffeine from the tea leaves. This process is beneficial, as it does not leave any chemical residues or reduction in flavor. See similar questions...

No. Coffee is decaffeinated with toxic solvents, like methylene chloride and ethyl acetate. In theory, these solvents shouldn't remain after decaffeination, but they often do. Also, decaffeinated coffee still contains caffeine, in varying degrees. If you want a hot drink, try hot apple juice or warm milk - they're delicious. See similar questions...

The decaffeination process starts by increasing the moisture content of the green (unroasted) coffee beans, to make it easier to remove the caffeine. Then one of several solvents is used to extract the caffeine. The solvents are safe and meet FDA standards for coffees sold in the U.S. The flavor of decaffeinated coffee depends on the quality of the beans, the blend, the roasting technique and the decaffeination method. All decaffeination methods remove 97-99% of the caffeine. See similar questions...

Yes, if for any reason you do not want to take it in capsules, you may pull out the content and mix it with water, juice, or yogurt. See similar questions...

Tea is a drink made by infusing leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis, or Thea sinensis) in hot water. The name 'tea' is also used to refer to the leaves themselves; and it is also the name of a mid- to late-afternoon meal in the British Isles and associated countries, at which tea (the drink) is served along with various foods.

The caffeine content in tea averages about 1/3 the amount found in equal liquid quantities of coffee, about 28-44 mg of caffeine per cup. It is only a myth that green and white teas have less caffeine. The leaves contain the same amount of caffeine but you tend to brew green teas for a shorter period of time and this will lessen the amount of caffeine that ends up in the brew.

Green beans are soaked in hot water to draw out the caffeine. After soaking, the water is drained off and treated with methylene chloride, a solvent that binds with the caffeine. The solvent and caffeine are removed by heating the solution and the remaining water is returned to the beans and reabsorbed. The green beans are then roasted at temperatures above 400 F and since methylene chloride evaporates at 100 F, there is no trace remaining in the finished product. See similar questions...

Parkside Coffee uses only beans that are naturally decaffeinated using a water process rather than chemical solvents. Though chemical solvents are not harmful to your health, they do affect the quality of the coffee. Soaking the beans in water to dissolve the caffeine keeps the coffee solvent-free and maintains the true flavor of the coffee. See similar questions...

A coffee must have at least 97% of its caffeine removed to qualify as decaffeinated coffee in the United States. Each five-ounce cup of decaffeinated, therefore, contains less than 5 milligrams of caffeine. See similar questions...

No. In order to provide a wide variety of coffees, we cannot include decaffeinated in the Coffee Days selection. Some beans in the selection are naturally lower in caffeine but all do contain caffeine. In order to protect the purity of coffees, we do not flavour the beans. We know that many people like flavoured coffees (vanilla, hazelnut, Irish Cream etc) but Coffee Days is about coffee and we therefore do not include flavoured coffees in the selection.

Both Tazo decaffeinated Lotus and decaffeinated Chai teas are made from tea that is naturally decaffeinated using highly pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) - the gas that adds bubbles to mineral water. Tea leaves are placed in the liquid carbon dioxide and the caffeine, which is water soluble, dissolves into the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide and caffeine solution is then drained off the tea and any remaining carbon dioxide in the tea evaporates. See similar questions...

There's a lot of folklore and literature about the health benefits of tea. This is unfortunate, because tea is toxic and addictive. I advise against all tea, including herbal, black, oolong, and green. Herbal tea is not really tea, but a brew of herbs, which supposedly are beneficial, but actually are quite toxic. Black, oolong, and green tea all come from the same plant. Black tea has more caffeine; green tea has more antioxidants; and oolong tea is intermediate between black tea and green tea.

True "teas" come from the dried leaves of the Camellia Sinensis, the tea plant, from which black, oolong, green and white teas are produced. Products labeled as "tea" without the herbal designation must contain Camellia Sinensis. Herbal teas or tisanes do not contain Camellia Sinensis and usually have no caffeine.
