Description
Key attributes
Ceylon black tea with the caffeine removed. Ask us for the decaffeination method and residual-caffeine figure before you commit: it varies by processor and it is the thing buyers in this category check first.
How to buy: order a 60 g sample online to judge the grade in your own hands. For bulk, request a quote with your grade, quantity and destination; we confirm a firm price, packing, lead time and validity in writing.
How decaf tea is made
Tea is decaffeinated after it is made, not grown low in caffeine. The main methods use carbon dioxide or ethyl acetate as the solvent. Carbon dioxide tends to keep more of the flavor. Some buyers and some markets prefer one method over the other, and some organic standards restrict the solvent. That is why the method matters as much as the caffeine figure.
What to tell us for a quote
- Leaf grade, or whether you need broken or fannings for tea bags
- Maximum residual caffeine your market or label allows
- Preferred decaffeination method, if any
- Bulk packing and quantity per shipment
- Destination port
Quality and documents
