As the name implies, this is a decaffeinated tea.

Decaffeinated using Ethyl Acetate to 0.2%.

This is a South Indian blend which has been gently decaffeinated to retain its natural flavour. Because the process utilises Ethyl Acetate, which is found in nature, to remove the caffeine the result is described as ‘naturally decaffeinated’.

Once Decaffeinated it is carefully flavoured with Bergamot Oil, a citrus fruit.

There are records of tea being flavoured with bergamot oil in the early 1800s, but it was probably given its name in honour of Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey and British Prime Minister in the 1830s.

There is no fixed recipe for the ‘Earl Grey’ blend and many companies disguise inferior teas by overloading them with oil.

We have used quality South Indian teas and just enough oil to allow the tea flavour through.

The result is a delightfully light, refreshing blend which can be drunk at any time of day.

All the flavour of Early Grey but without the caffeine.
