Organic Decaf Premium Green Tea
I am thrilled with the Decaf Premium Green Tea! It is fresher looking and tasting. I really like it! Thank you for offering this.
Savor an elevated organic decaf green tea experience, full of nuanced green tea flavor, but without the caffeine! While the majority of our decaf teas hail from India, our organic and Fair Trade Certified Decaf Premium Green Tea is from Zhejiang China. This refined decaf green tea comprises olive-green twisted leaves that offer up an aroma of saltwater taffy and savory buttered greens. The smooth yet mildly astringent clear and bright goldenrod cup delivers notes of brine, corn husk, and cooked spinach with a coppery finish. Because this tea is decaffeinated using a state-of-the art carbon dioxide (CO2) decaffeination process, the delicate vegetal flavor of the organic loose tea comes through nicely. Also, CO2 decaffeination does not involve the use of harmful chemicals, so the resulting product is simply a healthy cup of organic decaf tea with most of the caffeine removed (and no chemical overtones)!
Ingredients: organic and Fair Trade Certified Chinese decaf green tea
All true teas contain caffeine. Decaffeinated teas are leaves from the plant Camellia sinensis that have had at least 97.5% of the caffeine removed. The term “decaffeinated” is different from “caffeine free.” Decaffeinated refers to a product that originally contained caffeine (like Camellia sinensis) and underwent a process to remove most of its caffeine content. Caffeine-free, on the other hand, refers to a product (like many of our herbal teas) that never contained caffeine to begin with. For our decaf teas, we exclusively use the carbon dioxide (CO2) method of decaffeination. We believe this is the safest form of decaffeination, and retains the greatest flavor and health benefits.

At Arbor Teas, we believe tea should be brewed to suit your personal taste. We’re happy to make recommendations to get you started, but don’t hesitate to experiment! When brewing your tea, your main considerations are tea quantity, water temperature, and steeping time. We recommend green and white teas to be steeped for 2 to 3 minutes in water heated to not-quite-boiling, just as bubbles begin to form on the bottom of the pan (approximately 170 to 180 degrees F). For the best flavor, use fresh water whenever possible. Try not to steep your tea longer than necessary, as you’ll extract undesirable bitterness from the leaves. If you want a stronger brew, don’t steep longer, just use more tea. And don’t forget to re-steep your tea leaves to get the most out of your leaf!

"Wow, this is an outstanding decaf green tea! Notes of buttery cooked greens mingle with a delicate cornsilk sweetness. A delightful cup, any time of day."
"Smooth and delicious, with a titch of brassiness. Baby celery leaves, lightly buttered homemade popcorn, and a very light floral-ness on the end fill your cup."
